Due to the following problem, Postfix hangs during startup (and blocks 
any possible "[ITP] postfix ..."):

If a AF_UNIX socket is in listen()ing state, a client connect() should 
succeed immediately. On Cygwin, connect() waits until the server site 
accept()s the connection.

Testcase:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/un.h>

int main()
{
   sockaddr_un sa = {AF_UNIX, "testsocket"};
   unlink(sa.sun_path);

   int sd1 = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
   if (sd1 < 0) {
     perror("socket"); return 1;
   }
   if (bind(sd1, (sockaddr*) &sa, sizeof(sa))) {
     perror("bind"); return 1;
   }
   if (listen(sd1, 10) < 0) {
     perror("listen"); return 1;
   }

   int sd2 = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
   if (sd2 < 0) {
     perror("socket"); return 1;
   }
   printf("connecting to %s ...\n", sa.sun_path);

   // Cygwin hangs here:
   if (connect(sd2, (sockaddr*) &sa, sizeof(sa))) {
     perror("connect"); return 1;
   }

   // Linux & friends arrive here:
   printf("connected\n");
   return 0;
}


This is likely because fhandler_socket::af_local_connect() waits for 
some secret. Sending it in af_local_accept() is too late in this case.

Unfortunately the event handling of postfix relies on the correct 
behavior and there is possibly no easy workaround.
