lib/http: disable automatic authentication skipping for unix sockets

Disabling the authentication for unix sockets makes it impossible to
use `rclone serve` behind a proxy that that communicates with rclone
via a unix socket.

Re-enabling the authentication should not have any effect on most
users of unix sockets as they do not set authentication up with a unix
socket anyway.

 Socket activation, described further below, can also be used to accomplish the same.
