Feature request: Set ownership & permissions of unixsocket in monitrc

Allow for file ownership and permissions to be set on the unixsocket file from monitrc.

For example, if one is using an nginx reverse proxy as a front-end to monit, and nginx is run under a non-root user, then it won't be able to write to the unixsocket due to the root:root ownership of the unixsocket. (A workaround is to use localhost as the monit server, but this loses the benefit of using a unixsocket file (e.g. no TCP/IP overhead).)
