Add graceful handling for UNIX sockets and named pipes (cf. issue #293)

Add special recognition & handling code for UNIX domain sockets and named pipes rather than attempting to open them and inspect their contents. Prior to this patch, diffoscope treats them as regular files, which can lead to a crash or hang, including when recursing through directories or archives containing embedded socket endpoints. Request created from #293 (closed).
