Lennart Poettering edd1dcd091 man: don't place nginx socket in /tmp (#8757)
First of all, it's frickin' ugly and wrong, as IPC sockets should be
placed in /run and definitely not under a guessable name under
world-writable /tmp. Secondly, it can't even work as we set
PrivateTmp=yes on the service.

Hence, let's clean up the example, and simply use a socket in /run
instead.

Fixes: #8419

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command> is a generic
socket-activated network socket forwarder proxy daemon for IPv4,
IPv6 and UNIX stream sockets. It may be used to bi-directionally
forward traffic from a local listening socket to a local or remote
destination socket.</para>
<para>One use of this tool is to provide socket activation support
for services that do not natively support socket activation. On
behalf of the service to activate, the proxy inherits the socket
from systemd, accepts each client connection, opens a connection
to a configured server for each client, and then bidirectionally
forwards data between the two.</para>
<para>This utility's behavior is similar to
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>socat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
The main differences for <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command>
are support for socket activation with
<literal>Accept=false</literal> and an event-driven
design that scales better with the number of
connections.</para>

<para>Similar as above, but runs the socket proxy and the main
service in the same private namespace, assuming that
