Problem: - Unix sockets are created in random /tmp dirs. - /tmp is messy, unclear when OSes actually clear it. - The generated paths are very ugly. This adds friction to reasoning about which paths belong to which Nvim instances. - No way to provide a human-friendly way to identify Nvim instances in logs or server addresses. Solution: - Store unix sockets in stdpath('state') - Allow --listen "name" and serverstart("name") to given a name (which is appended to a generated path). TODO: - is stdpath(state) the right place?
