doc: server.listen truncates socket path on unix
Internally it ends up calling `uv_pipe_bind` with the given path which itself is documented to truncate the path. See http://docs.libuv.org/en/v1.x/pipe.html#c.uv_pipe_bind This is NOT a bug, but a restriction of the unix socket api, as it stores the path in `sockaddr_un.sun_path` (104 chars on OS X, 108 chars on Linux), see `man unix`.
