test-inotify: test symlink indirection for unix sockets

The inotify code performs a delicate dance to work around the 108-byte
limit on unix domain socket path names on Linux.

This change sets us up to safely refactor that code without breaking
it. (It is redundant with part of test-inotify-issue1208.t, but we will
shortly make that test go away.)

globalvars = {}
localvars = {}

while lines:
    l = lines.pop(0)
    if l.startswith('SALT'):
        print l[:-1]
    elif l.startswith('>>> '):
        snippet = l[4:]
        while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
            l = lines.pop(0)
            snippet += "\n" + l[4:]
        c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
        try:
            exec c in globalvars, localvars
        except Exception, inst:
