H A Dblockdev-nbd.ce8ae8b1a Fri Mar 04 19:36:03 GMT 2022 Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> block/nbd: don't restrict TLS usage to IP sockets

The TLS usage for NBD was restricted to IP sockets because validating
x509 certificates requires knowledge of the hostname that the client
is connecting to.

TLS does not have to use x509 certificates though, as PSK (pre-shared
keys) provide an alternative credential option. These have no
requirement for a hostname and can thus be trivially used for UNIX
sockets.

Furthermore, with the ability to overide the default hostname for
TLS validation in the previous patch, it is now also valid to want
to use x509 certificates with FD passing and UNIX sockets.
