util: use AF_UNIX family (not AF_PACKET) for ioctl sockets

The exact family of the socket created for the fd used by ioctl(7)
doesn't matter, it just needs to be a socket and not a file. But for
some reason when macvtap support was added, it used
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM sockets for its ioctls; we later used the same
AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM socket for new ioctls we added, and eventually
modified the other pre-existing ioctl sockets (for creating/deleting
bridges) to also use AF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM (that code originally used
AF_UNIX/SOCK_STREAM).

The problem with using AF_PACKET (intended for sending/receiving "raw"
packets, i.e. packets that can be some protocol other than TCP or UDP)
is that it requires root privileges. This meant that none of the
ioctls in virnetdev.c or virnetdevip.c would work when running
libvirtd unprivileged.

This packet solves that problem by changing the family to AF_UNIX when
creating the socket used for any ioctl().
