bug#74871: [PATCH] When socket bind or connect fails with a string address, display that address in the error message.

[Dale Mellor <no-reply@rdmp.org>]

Too often the message 'connect: no such file or directory' appears deep
in network code, and it is very hard to figure out where it is coming
from.  At least seeing the path (for example, in the case of a UNIX
socket) will help the user to debug their code.

 * libguile/socket.c: extra error handling in scm_bind and scm_connect
                      functions.
