Talking to Postgres Through Java 16 Unix-Domain Socket Channels

I'm glad java is *finally* getting first-class unix domain socket support. It was one of my only qualms about using the language. I wish they offered more explicit unix signal handling, though I know some of the signals are reserved for internal use so it's probably a bit hard to let that cat out of the bag.

It has always been a couple of JNI calls away anyway, this just makes it more practicable.

Interesting that they left out socketpair() and sendmsg() for file descriptors though.

doing via JNI or JNA (for no C code) is beyond trivial. For instance we have integration with systemd - the code is around one screen.
