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.
