move .git-credential-cache/socket to xdg_runtime_dir("credential-cache.sock")

Motivation?

I will improve my commit message.

We do our own mkdir and chmod in credential-cache; this should be
redundant with what xdg_runtime_dir() does, and can be removed, right?

But user may specify another path via --socket <path>, this path may have
wrong permission. I'm considering how to handle this situation.
