I've had a good degree of success placing the SHARKD_SOCKET within the CAPTURES_PATH since its pretty much guaranteed to be available, writeable and exclusive regardless of the container build or username. thoughts?

I chose this one because it exists in the node:20-bookworm container we are building off of and is writable by the default node user that I set the docker container to run as. I am not opposed to putting it somewhere else.
I do have a concern with /captures/, as if that directory were shared between multiple instances, we could either delete a socket or use a sharkd instance that belongs to another container. We could also have problems in the unlikely event that /capture/ ends up on a mountpoint that doesn't support unix sockets (NFS, CIFS, FAT, NTFS, ...).
