Socketcand UNIX Socket Support #2018
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am working with CAN bus in Docker containers. I personally find it more reliable to pass a UNIX socket path from the host to a container than it is to use host.containers.internal or whatever they call it these days. Socketcand natively supports binding to a UNIX socket, but there is no API to connect to it via python-can.
Describe the solution you'd like
An additional argument to SocketCanDaemonBus that allows specifying a socket path. When passed, it should allow for the host and port to be empty, and should change socket.AF_INET to socket.AF_UNIX on this line. The socket path should be passed to socket.connect() without the port.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried long and hard to get communication working via standard TCP/IP but it just seems to hate me. This seems like the next best option, and I think it should be supported since it's a core feature of Socketcand :)
