Title: UNIX Socket URL Support

Added support for http requests over unix sockets via the `unix://` protocol name.
Uses `net.connect` to discover the listening socket inside a full url and sends the remaining path using existing `request` methods.

Summary for use is added to `README.md`

The asynchronous socket listener discovery loop fails with an `Error` after 1000 ticks to prevent hangs, successful connections appear to happen within a couple of ticks.
