Subject: [PATCH] [doc] Added socket checks for the examples

In the examples in awesomerc.5.txt, they kind of assume that awesome is
already running. If you run them from your .xinitrc, they'll fail, because
the awesome socket isn't available.

This patch adds a quick check to make sure the socket is there before
starting up.
