passfd: fix incorrect sendmsg arguments

The unit test hung on NetBSD, which pointed out a couple of bugs.

* lib/passfd.c (sendfd): Avoid uninitialized msg_flags field, and
incorrect msg_controllen value.
* modules/passfd-tests (Depends-on): Check for alarm.
* tests/test-passfd.c (main) [HAVE_DECL_ALARM]: Avoid hanging test.
Reported by Bastien ROUCARIES.
