Events: fixed handling zero-length client address.
On Linux recvmsg() syscall may return a zero-length client address when
receiving a datagram from an unbound unix datagram socket. It is usually
assumed that socket address has at least the sa_family member. Zero-length
socket address caused buffer over-read in functions which receive socket
address, for example ngx_sock_ntop(). Typically the over-read resulted in
unexpected socket family followed by session close. Now a fake socket address
is allocated instead of a zero-length client address.
