boxxy doesn't seem to be able to redirect unix sockets

I tried using boxxy to redirect a socket out of my home directory, but it doesn't look like this works. I tried both the "file" and "directory" modes but neither seemed to work.

Hi! You cannot currently redirect only a socket; this may be possible, but unfortunately due to my health I don't currently have the bandwidth to dig into it more. If you are interested in attempting implementing it yourself, the relevant code is: https://github.com/queer/boxxy/blob/4941c8843e6c605d955d00c59ccf7c568f224171/src/enclosure/fs.rs#L38-L87

The manpage for mount(2) is unclear on whether or not this change is possible to implement from a quick read.
