FreeBSD[1] chose signatures of:
    int bindat(int fd, int s, const struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t addrlen);
    int connectat(int fd, int s, const struct sockaddr *name,
socklen_t namelen);

An alternate implementation could instead augment `sockaddr_un`.

Also, if we're going to add a new bind and connect() syscalls, we
should also add a flags argument.
