chg: let hgc_open support long path
"sizeof(sun_path)" is too small. Use the chdir trick to support long socket
path, like "mercurial.util.bindunixsocket".
It's useful for cases where TMPDIR is long. Modern OS X rewrites TMPDIR to a
long value. And we probably want to use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR [2] for Linux.
The approach is a bit different from the previous plan, where we will have
hgc_openat and pass cmdserveropts.sockdirfd to it. That's because the
current change is easier: chg has to pass a full path to "hg" as the
"--address" parameter. There is no "--address-basename" or "--address-dirfd"
flags. The next patch will remove "sockdirfd".
Note: It'd be nice if we can use a native "connectat" implementation.
However, that's not available everywhere. Some platform (namely FreeBSD)
does support it, but the implementation has bugs so it cannot be used [2].

Initial setup.
$ hg init repo
$ cd repo
$ touch thefile
$ hg ci -A -m 'Initial commit.'
adding thefile
Create a tag.
$ hg tag branchortag
Create a branch with the same name as the tag.
$ hg branch branchortag
marked working directory as branch branchortag
(branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
$ hg ci -m 'Create a branch with the same name as a tag.'
This is what we have:
