Drop support for daemon socket path >= 108 characters

Browse source 
Doing a chdir() is a bad idea in multi-threaded programs, leading to
failures such as

  error: cannot connect to daemon at ‘/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket’: No such file or directory

Since Linux doesn't have a connectat() syscall like FreeBSD, there is
no way we can support this in a race-free way.
