g_socket_send_message() fails due to invalid sendmsg(2) params.

g_socket_send_message() and g_socket_send_to() fail with ENOBUFS or
EFAULT due to the fact that if no "address" argument is specified to
g_socket_send_message, when g_socket_send_message() calls sendmsg(2),
the 2nd parameter to sendmsg ("const struct msghdr *msg") contains
uninitialized values. The fix is simple - initialize msg.msg_name to
NULL and msg.msg_msg_namelen to 0.
