API can't connect to LXD socket on Fedora 30 if installed from GANTO repository (official procedure)
Issue: following the procedure from linuxcontainers.org installing LXD 3.X on Fedora 30 from the GANTO repository (not SNAPD method) the default LXD socket path results in "/run/lxd.socket", which is not expected in "pylxd/client" (line 280ish).
doing
from pylxd import Client client = Client()
generate an error. A condition such as "elif os.path.exists('/run/lxd.socket'): path = '/run/lxd.socket' might be added.
Also doing
from pylxd import Client client = Client('/run/lxd.socket')
generate an error as well because the condition for manual socket path verification uses the "os.path.isfile(endpoint)" method which check regular files but not unix sockets. I think a "os.path.exists(endpoint)" may be more appropriate.

I agree with the os.path.exists(...) rather than isfile(...). I think the isfile() is an error, when it was introduced.
Patches welcome, please, if you have the time?
As a work around, you can set the "LXD_DIR" env variable to perform an override, but it looks for unix.socket rather than lxd.socket which is a bit annoying.
