 In `entry_connection_t`, there is still `is_socks_socket` option that is
 simply not used.

 Other place is this log which should be renamed to mention "Unix socket".

 {{{
     log_info(LD_NET, "Closing SOCKS SocksSocket connection");
 }}}

 Finally, the man page is still listing the option within another option
 (although `SocksSocketsGroupWritable` is still a thing that we should
 probably rename).

 {{{
        SocksSocketsGroupWritable 0|1
      If this option is set to 0, don’t allow the filesystem group to read
 and write unix sockets (e.g. SocksSocket). If the option
      is set to 1, make the SocksSocket socket readable and writable by the
 default GID. (Default: 0)
 }}}
