Login telemetry now records whether authentication happened over a unix socket

What

The base telemetry data sent with login events now includes a via_unix_socket field, recording whether the authentication request went over a unix socket (a local file-based connection method, as opposed to a network connection).

Why

This gives Anthropic more detail about how authentication is happening, which can help diagnose login issues tied to the connection method.
