Eventhough NO_UNIX_SOCKETS was specifically added to support Windows, it might not be necessary in the future, because Windows added support for Unix Sockets in late 2017. The implementation of Unix Sockets, uses an internal NTFS mechanism and is therefore not visible at the filesystem layer, like it is in UNIX, but seems to be good enough to allow to build and run the `git credential-cache` and its daemon, with not many changes. Additional testing to confirm trace2 (which builds and doesn't fail any tests) is functional will be also needed. Interestingly, Cygwin has its own implementation of Unix Sockets that are visible as such even in the Git Bash environment, but that are also incompatible with the native ones. V3 Changes the commit messages as suggested and fixes the original ugly implementation of the workarounds for the first patch and shoule apply cleanly as a reroll of cb/unix-sockets-with-windows.
