Description
It would be nice if shiny run would expose a cli option to bind to unix domain sockets instead of tcp ports.
uvicorn already supports this via the --uds flag.
This already works in python (as run_app() passes **kwargs on to uvicorn.run()):
from shiny import run_app
run_app("app:app", uds="/tmp/shiny.sock")
But in the shiny run cli, additional arguments are not allowed.

Research direction
Start at the shiny run CLI entry point and compare its accepted options with the arguments passed by run_app() to uvicorn.run(). Check how uvicorn's --uds option is represented and add equivalent CLI support, with completion shown by invoking shiny run --help and binding an app to a Unix socket.
