Description
It would be nice to be able to access the path of a unix socket from SockAddr similar to vsock_address
socket2 is being considered as a backend for UDS on windows in mio/tokio (https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio/pull/1610#issuecomment-1218388105) and, if used, would need to expose the address of unix sockets from SocketAddr to mirror the implementation of SocketAddr in mio for unix

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing vsock_address API in SockAddr with mio's SocketAddr::as_pathname implementation and the linked UDS-on-Windows context. Done means exposing a unix socket path from SockAddr in a way that can mirror the mio API for the proposed mio/tokio backend.
