feat(daemon): follow XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if set (#2171)

If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set, put the socket file there.

If not, default to storing it in our data dir. We cannot default to a
path such as /run/user/$UID/ because it does not exist on all systems.
Any system running systemd will set this var by default, and ensure that
the directory it points to is correctly setup.
