[xdegaye]

Tests in test_socket and test_asyncore fail on Android when bind() on a unix socket raises PermissionError for a non-root user. This occurs also in test_asyncio and this is logged in a separate issue as asyncio has its own project.

Patch attached.

test_pathlib must also be fixed for this same problem.
New patch.
