[issue37370] AF_UNIX should be supported on Windows

[Paul Monson]

New submission from Paul Monson <paulmons at gmail.com>:

AF_UNIX has been supported on windows since version 1803 (build 17134)
see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/

Enabling support for AF_UNIX will enable better peer-to-peer connectivity scenarios for Azure IoT Edge.  The changes to enable AF_UNIX on Windows seem small and low risk.

I need feedback on these proposed changes
