I talked Dave into this - AF_UNIX is typically the only address family
that is valid for socketpair(). Using AF_INET under linux and OS X
results in EOPNOTSUPP.

I agree, but I think that was copied verbatim from elsewhere in
socketmodule.c, so it was left with the aim of being bug for bug
compatible with socket.socket().
