They do not play nice with gitlab-workhorse (or rather Golang net/http
DefaultServemux).

It is well known that UNIX sockets are faster than TCP over loopback.

E.g. on my machine according to lmbench[1] they have ~ 2 times
lower latency and ~ 2-3 times more throughput compared to TCP over
loopback:

    *Local* Communication latencies in microseconds - smaller is better
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Host                 OS 2p/0K  Pipe AF     UDP  RPC/   TCP  RPC/ TCP
                            ctxsw       UNIX         UDP         TCP conn
    --------- ------------- ----- ----- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----
    teco      Linux 4.2.0-1  13.8  29.2 26.8  45.0  47.9  48.5  55.5  45.

    *Local* Communication bandwidths in MB/s - bigger is better
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Host                OS  Pipe AF    TCP  File   Mmap  Bcopy  Bcopy  Mem   Mem
                                 UNIX      reread reread (libc) (hand) read write
    --------- ------------- ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ ------ ------ ---- -----
    teco      Linux 4.2.0-1 1084 4353 1493 2329.1 3720.7 1613.8 1109.2 3402 1404.

The same ratio usually holds for servers.

Also UNIX sockets, since they reside on filesystem, besides being faster with
less latency, have one another nice property: access permissions to them are
managed the same way access to files is.

Because of lower latencies and higher throughput - for performance reasons, and
for easier security, it makes sense to interconnect services on one machine via
UNIX sockets and talk via TCP only to outside world.

All internal services inside GitLab can talk to each other via UNIX socket
already and only gitlab-shell was missing support to talk to Unicorn via UNIX
socket.

Let's teach gitlab-shell to talk via UNIX sockets.

In this patch we

- add URI::HTTPUNIX to handle http+unix:// URI scheme
- add Net::HTTPUNIX to handle "connect via unix socket and then talk http"
- adjust GitlabNet#http_client_for() accordingly
- adjust documentation in config.yml.example

The http+unix:// scheme is not reinvented anew: the idea about its structure is
quite logical an was already established at least in requests-unixsocket python
package:

If a repository contained a broken symlink named 'hooks', this would
raise ENOENT in lib/gitlab_projects.rb, which got ignored in
bin/create-hooks. This commit fixes that by making sure we handle
broken symlinks in lib/gitlab_projects.rb.

'gcryptsetup' is a special git-annex feature that does its own
initialization.

This will speed up the rm-key operation. The downside is that
authorized_keys will not shrink when you remove a key. If this ever
becomes a problem it can be fixed by running 'rake gitlab:shell:setup'.
