If the filesystem-backed Unix socket (G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_PATH) does not exist, X11 clients can also use a Linux abstract Unix socket (G_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESS_ABSTRACT), or even a TCP socket. Both of these are going to require --share=network to be enabled, so print a warning if it isn't. We don't automatically enable --share=network, because that elevates the privileges of apps that would otherwise have entered a new network namespace, but users can make it work with `flatpak run --share=network` or `flatpak override --share=network`. When falling back to an abstract Unix socket or to a TCP socket, we can't remap the display number to the fixed :99.0 that we normally use, so adjust write_xauth() to be able to avoid doing that.
