[PATCH v2 2/2] net/nfp: move socket from /tmp to runtime dir

The CPP bridge service created its unix socket at a fixed /tmp/<pci>
path, which is world-writable and shared across DPDK instances. Build
the path under the EAL runtime directory (e.g. /run/dpdk/<prefix>)
instead, so it follows the configured prefix and is isolated per
instance.
The old code copied the path into a struct sockaddr, whose sa_data is
only 14 bytes, and bound sizeof(struct sockaddr); a runtime-dir path
does not fit there. Use struct sockaddr_un so the full path fits, and
bail out if it is still truncated.
