Merge bitcoin#27679: ZMQ: Support UNIX domain sockets

21d0e6c doc: release notes for PR 27679 (Matthew Zipkin)
791dea2 test: cover unix sockets in zmq interface (Matthew Zipkin)
c87b0a0 zmq: accept unix domain socket address for notifier (Matthew Zipkin)

Pull request description:

  This is a follow-up to bitcoin#27375, allowing ZMQ notifications to be published to a UNIX domain socket.

  Fortunately, libzmq handles unix sockets already, all we really have to do to support it is allow the format in the actual option.

  [libzmq](https://libzmq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/zmq_ipc.html) uses the prefix `ipc://` as opposed to `unix:` which is [used by Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/blob/main/doc/man/tor.1.txt?ref_type=heads#L1475) and now also by [bitcoind](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/a85e5a7c9ab75209bc88e49be6991ba0a467034e/doc/release-notes-27375.md?plain=1#L5) so we need to switch that internally.

  As far as I can tell, [LND](https://github.com/lightninglabs/gozmq/blob/d20a764486bf506bc045642e455bc7f0d21b232a/zmq.go#L38) supports `ipc://` and `unix://` (notice the double slashes).

  With this patch, LND can connect to bitcoind using unix sockets:

  Example:

  *bitcoin.conf*:
  ```
  zmqpubrawblock=unix:/tmp/zmqsb
  zmqpubrawtx=unix:/tmp/zmqst
  ```

  *lnd.conf*:
  ```
  bitcoind.zmqpubrawblock=ipc:///tmp/zmqsb
  bitcoind.zmqpubrawtx=ipc:///tmp/zmqst
  ```
