Add support for systemd.socket

When using sockets to pass data between e.g. nginx and oauth2-proxy it's
simpler to use sockets. Systemd can even facilitate this and pass the
actual socket directly.

This also means that only the socket runs with the same group as nginx
while the service runs with DynamicUser.

Does not support TLS yet.

nginx
```
server {
    location /oauth2/ {
      proxy_pass http://unix:/run/oauth2-proxy/oauth2.sock;
}
```

oauth2-proxy.socket
```
[Socket]
ListenStream=%t/oauth2.sock
SocketGroup=www-data
SocketMode=0660
```

Start oauth2-proxy with the parameter `--http-address=fd:3`.

title: Systemd Socket Activation
---
Pass an existing listener created by systemd.socket to oauth2-proxy.
To do this create a socket:
oauth2-proxy.socket
```
[Socket]
ListenStream=%t/oauth2.sock
SocketGroup=www-data
SocketMode=0660
```
Now it's possible to call this socket from e.g. nginx:
```
server {
location /oauth2/ {
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/oauth2-proxy/oauth2.sock;
}
```
The oauth2-proxy should have `--http-address=fd:3` as a parameter.
Here fd is case insensitive and means file descriptor. The number 3 refers to the first non-stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptor,
systemd-socket-activate (which is what systemd.socket uses), listens to what it is told and passes
the listener it created onto the process, starting with file descriptor 3.
```
./oauth2-proxy \
--http-address="fd:3" \
--email-domain="yourcompany.com" \
--upstream=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
--cookie-secret=... \
--cookie-secure=true \
--provider=... \
--client-id=... \
--client-secret=...
```
Currently TLS is not supported (but it's doable).
