Description

A copy of https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-daemon/issues/60

If we change the socket path to be a multiaddr and then create unix socket listening as just another libp2p transport, we could determine our appropriate control transport based on the multiaddr, similar to how libp2p already operates.

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced go-libp2p-daemon issue and the js-libp2p-daemon control transport implementation. Determine how the socket path can become a multiaddr and how Unix sockets are represented as a libp2p transport. Done means control transport selection follows the multiaddr and WebSocket support works alongside Unix sockets.
