+Enhancement: support connection to rest-server using unix socket
+
+Restic now supports connecting to rest-server using a unix socket for
+rest-server version 0.13.0 or later.
+
+This allows running restic as follows:
+
+```
+rest-server --listen unix:/tmp/rest.socket --data /path/to/data &
+restic -r rest:http+unix:///tmp/rest.socket:/my_backup_repo/ [...]
+```
