cmdserver: add service that listens on unix domain socket and forks process

Typical use case of 'unix' mode is a background hg daemon.

    $ hg serve --cmdserver unix --cwd / -a /tmp/hg-`id -u`.sock

Unlike 'pipe' mode in which parent process keeps stdio channel, 'unix' server
can be detached.  So clients can freely connect and disconnect from server,
saving Python start-up time.

It might be better to write "--cmdserver socket -a unix:/sockpath" instead
of "--cmdserver unix -a /sockpath" in case hgweb gets the ability to listen
on unix domain socket.

       using rollback or extensions that destroy/modify history (mq,

       clones. In particular, if two shared clones are both updated to
       the same changeset, and one of them destroys that changeset

       operations will fail with "abort: working directory has unknown

       the broken clone to reset it to a changeset that still exists.
