Bind to unix domain socket instead of ip address

See original GitHub issue

When running applications like uvicorn behind a reverse proxy like NGINX it is best practice to use a unix domain socket instead of binding to an ip address. This has the benefit of improved security and performance.

This could be implemented the same way as gunicorn does it. If the bind parameter starts with unix:, use a unix domain socket. One caveat is that the socket file will have to be created beforehand and cleaned up afterwards.

Documented this better under 0.2. - http://www.uvicorn.org/#running-with-gunicorn

Also things are more properly split out now - the standard command line tool doesn’t depend on gunicorn, but we include a gunicorn worker class, and document using that, as well as running the cli for simpler style.

Note: We do need to document this. We currently don’t have any proper documentation about the available command line arguments.
