lldpad: init the client interface socket early

When lldpad is run as a daemon, a dcbtool or lldptool
    command executed immediately afterwards is in a race
    with the daemon lldpad for accessing the client interface
    socket.  The tool will typically fail because the
    client interface is not set up yet.  This patch splits
    the client interface intiailization into two steps,
    1) create the socket, and 2) register the socket.  The
    creation step is done early, before the daemon is
    started, to prevent the race.  The registration of
    the socket (with eloop) is still performed at the
    same place it was before.
