suricata: unix-socket mode and -l are compatible

Commit 93642a0d1dd29c96e98824935ef963f6b1ef40eb did prevent to
specify the logging directory on command line and use the unix
socket.

It looks like the implementation has evolved and the arbitrary
limitation can be removed allowing a user to start unix socket
without editing the configuration file.
