Make being backward compatible to 4.0 an option

screen-4.2.1_2 can't find my screen sessions any more.

# pkg info -E screen
screen-4.2.1_1
# screen -ls
There are screens on:
        18332.prts2     (Attached)
        72554.ports     (Attached)
2 Sockets in /tmp/screens/S-root.
# pkg upgrade
...
# pkg info E screen
screen-4.2.1_2
# screen -ls
No Sockets found in /tmp/screens/S-root.
# ls -al /tmp/screens/S-root
total 8
drwx------  2 root  wheel  512  9 Jun 11:28 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512  5 Jun 21:14 ..
srwx------  1 root  wheel    0  5 Jun 21:14 2508.prts2
srwx------  1 root  wheel    0  9 Jun 11:28 86107.ports

Yes, it was annoying when 4.2.1 came out on April 30th that my existing screen
sessions were lost.  But, there has been plenty of time to get over the loss,
especially since there have been (at least for me, two reboots due to kernel
updates from freebsd-update.  I did 9.2-RELEASE-p6 on May 18th, and
9.2-RELEASE-p7 on June 5th for my two core servers.)

If being able to find pre-existing 4.0 sessions is so important, at this point
it should be an option to not break things for the rest of us.

Since the application is mutual exclusive on whether its doing sockets or fifos
for functions in its file named 'sockets.c'.
