gh-94821: Fix autobind of empty unix domain address (GH-94826)

When binding a unix socket to an empty address on Linux, the socket is
automatically bound to an available address in the abstract namespace.

    >>> s = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    >>> s.bind("")
    >>> s.getsockname()
    b'\x0075499'

Since python 3.9, the socket is bound to the one address:

    >>> s.getsockname()
    b'\x00'

And trying to bind multiple sockets will fail with:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/nsoffer/src/cpython/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 5553, in testAutobind
        s2.bind("")
    OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

Added 2 tests:
- Auto binding empty address on Linux
- Failing to bind an empty address on other platforms

Fixes f6b3a07 (bpo-44493: Add missing terminated NUL in sockaddr_un's length (GH-26866)
