Converts an initial strudel or "at sign" (@) in the Unix socket path to
a NULL character ('\0') indicating that the socket uses the abstract
namespace instead of the filesystem namespace.  For instance, binding a
socket to 'ipc://@/tmp/tester' will not create a file associated with
the socket whereas binding to 'ipc:///tmp/tester' will create the file
/tmp/tester.  See issue 567 for more information.
