[feature request] possibility of using UNIX sockets

[szelga]

it would be nice to have possibility of binding to UNIX sockets (for production environments). i'm willing to make a PR, but i would like to know how should config options look like in this case?

Subscriber and publisher adresses can be unix sockets already. Why do you want to bind the Tornado server to a unix socket? Browers need to connect to them. If you want to be able to bind to unix sockets and add a proxy in front of it, I think we should do something like "If server port is None, consider the HOST als unix socket path". Do you have any other ideas?

exactly, i have nginx proxying omnibusd anyway.

"If server port is None, consider the HOST als unix socket path"

sounds nice. i can't start working on it right now, but i should be able to write a patch during the weekend.
