Perhaps surprisingly, and contrary to the expectations of
path_test:path_event, NOTE_LINK events are not raised when a file is
unlinked. Prior to commit bf13db086b, the test happened to work
because unlinking the file would cause the vnode to be recycled, and
EVFILT_VNODE knotes deliver an event with EV_EOF set when the vnode is
doomed. Since the test did not verify the note type, the test
succeeded. After commit bf13db086b, the vnode is not recycled after
being unlinked and so the test hangs.
Fix the test by waiting for NOTE_DELETE instead, and check that we got
the note that we expected.

As with FIFOs, a path descriptor for a unix socket cannot be used with
kevent().
In principle connectat(2) and bindat(2) could be modified to support an
AT_EMPTY_PATH-like mode which operates on the socket referenced by an
O_PATH fd referencing a unix socket. That would eliminate the path
length limit imposed by sockaddr_un.
Update O_PATH tests.
