credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path
Relative socket paths are dangerous since the user cannot generally
control when the daemon starts (initially, after a timeout, kill or
crash). Since the daemon creates but does not delete the socket
directory, this could lead to spurious directory creation relative
to the users cwd.
