Most uses of HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS are not useful independent of that
question. For example, you patch has

But on a platform without support for Unix sockets, family just won't be
AF_UNIX at run time, so there is no need to hide that if branch.
Note that we already require that AF_UNIX is defined on all platforms,
even if the kernel doesn't support Unix sockets.
But maybe it would be better to make that a separate patch from the
sys/un.h configure changes, just so there is more clarity around it.
