docs: Document SELinux caveats when migrating over UNIX sockets
The information about sockets having different label than the one on the file and the way it needs to be set is very difficult to find for those who did not come across it before. Let's describe what needs to happen in order for the migration to go through rather than rely on general knowledge of others.

One caveat is that on SELinux-enabled systems all the sockets that the
|

hypervisor is going to connect to needs to have the proper context and
|

that is chosen before its creation by the process that creates it. That
|

is usually done by using <code>setsockcreatecon{,raw}()</code> functions.
|

Generally *system_r:system_u:svirt_socket_t:s0* should do the trick, but
|

check the SELinux rules and settings of your system.
