📄 Description

Unix sockets cannot be created if the file already exists. The current socket file can be left behind if pocket-id closes ungracefully, either because of a crash or if the system loses power.

In those cases pocket-id fails to restart with the following error:

failed to init router: failed to create unix listener: listen unix /pocketid/pocketid.sock: bind: address already in use

This PR removes the previous socket file, if it exists, before creating the router.
