unix vty socket and blocking
I'd like to make the following change to lib/vty.c. Essentially vtysh
is dangerous at the moment. The following should undangerify the use
of vtysh, however vtysh will instead fail to get all of long
commands - that I intend to try fix at some later stage, either by
making vtysh buffer, or making the current daemon-side buffering code
used for telnet vty also deal with VTY_SHELL_SERV. (at present the
telnet paging stuff is mixed in).

For now though, vtysh should not cause daemons to block, no?
