 torbutton issues a `PROTOCOLINFO` command to validate the configured socks
 port, but the response parser doesn't handle `AF_UNIX` entries.

 {{{
 [07-21 19:17:44] Torbutton WARN: unexpected tor response:
 net/listeners/socks="127.0.0.1:9050" "unix:/var/run/tor/socks"
 }}}

 This currently doesn't matter because the number of people using an
 `AF_UNIX` capable Tor Browser is ~1, but it is something to note for the
 future sandboxing efforts.
