KubeVPN client for windows ad AF_UNIX requirement

[vmaglietta]

After some digging I found that KubeVPN windows client can run only if the Win OS version is compliant with AF_UNIX feature otherwise the daemon cannot run. Runing a simple command kubevpn status hangs forever with no output while kubevpn daemon exits a more clear error. It should be nice if such condition is detected by the program exiting with a clear message about the OS incompatibility.

Morevoer is there any plan to make the windows client compliant with older OS without AF_UNIX support such as Windows server 2012 or 2016? I know this it not a simple task.

Thank you so much.

@wencaiwulue many thanks for the info! Is there any older KubeVPN version that was developed using go 1.17, ... just for fast testing on my old OSes stuff ;-)

Well thanks to your hints I found that v1.2.0 is the latest compatible with Windows server 2016, I will check 2012 in the next days and keep you updated. @wencaiwulue you're a superhero!
