Problem:
A `--listen` path longer than the system socket path limit (~104 bytes on
macOS, 108 on Linux) is silently truncated by `uv_pipe_bind()`. Nvim either
serves a socket at a different path than `v:servername` reports, or fails with
an error that blames the full untruncated path (confusing):
nvim: Failed to --listen: address already in use: "<full path>"
Steps to reproduce:
$ nvim --listen /var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide --embed -p
nvim: Failed to --listen: address already in use: "/var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide"
$ ls /var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide
"/var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide": No such file or directory (os error 2)
$ ls -l /var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/

Solution:
Bind with `uv_pipe_bind2()` and `UV_PIPE_NO_TRUNCATE` (libuv 1.46+), so
a too-long path fails up front with the actual reason:
nvim: Failed to --listen: invalid argument: "<full path>"
