Description
To use `UnixDomainSocketEndPoint` on Windows, the socket must be created with:
- AddressFamily.Unix
- SocketType.Stream
- ProtocolType.Unspecified
This isn't documented. Additionally, limitations of Unix domain sockets on Windows are also not documented (for example, you cannot have SOCK_DGRAM sockets on Windows (see https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/24065)
Would it be possible to update the UnixDomainSocketEndPoint documentation to list these requirements and limitations for Windows?
