Add just a tiny bit more detail about unix socket connection strings #169
Description
After reading this page: https://www.npgsql.org/doc/connection-string-parameters.html?q=Unix-domain%20sockets
It would be nice to have the following:
- A full example of a unix socket connection string
- Any details around whether the npgsql driver generates or appends
/.s.PGSQL.5432or if it needs to be specified explicitly - An explanation as to why the port is still required when configuring socket connections

This works similiar to how the PostgreSQL libpq
hostworks (see docs): you specify the directory where the Unix-domain socket is, and Npgsql appends the file name, integrating the port number. That seems pretty clear from the doc text, no?
