Client works for RPC; will honor CONSUL_RPC_ADDR. HTTP works via consul/api;
honors CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR.
The format of a Unix socket in configuration data is:
"unix://[/path/to/socket];[username or uid];[gid];[mode]"
Obviously, the user must have appropriate permissions to create the socket
file in the given path and assign the requested uid/gid. Also note that Go does
not support gid lookups from group name, so gid must be numeric. See
https://codereview.appspot.com/101310044
When connecting from the client, the format is just the first part of the
above line:
"unix://[/path/to/socket]"
