Make insecure_channel / secure_channel accept port=None and only use the
'host' argument. This enables using UNIX sockets without mangling the
path of the socket.
The API would be clearer if port somehow was optional (like passing a (host, port) tuple like a lot of other Python libraries are using) but to maintain compatibility with the current users this solution is proposed.
This provides relief for #4974
