[PATCH v3 02/10] unix-sockets: use strbuf_getcwd()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>

Instead of using a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which can be too small on some file systems, use strbuf_getcwd(), which handles any path getcwd() returns. Also preserve the errno set by strbuf_getcwd() instead of setting it to ENAMETOOLONG; that way a more appropriate error message can be shown based on the actual reason for failing.
