net: update netdev stream man page with unix socket

Add the description of "-netdev stream" with a unix domain socket.
The code has been added but the man page has not been updated.

Include an example how to use "-netdev stream" and "passt" in place
of "-netdev user".
("passt" is a non privileged translation proxy between layer-2, like
"-netdev stream", and layer-4 on host, like TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo)
