sails-postgres doesn't work with unix socket connections

Unless I'm missing something obvious, sails-postgres won't work with PostgreSQL unix socket connections.

This seems to be a direct result of the conversion from separate datastore config values to a connectionString performed in sails-postgresql/helpers/register-data-store.js.

I will look into this further and hopefully provide a patch shortly.
