[PATCH 5/5] udp.c: Add explicit cast to muffle bogus Clang warning.

Clang is complaining (`-Wsign-compare') about the comparison between
`salen' (`socklen_t', i.e., an `int' with a false moustache) and
`size_t' (`unsigned int' in this case). I can see that some warnings of
this kind are useful, but not this one. The usual arithmetic
conversions apply, so `salen' is converted to `size_t'. If it was
negative before, it's now very positive, which will trip the the
comparison and call `FAIL' -- which seems like a plausible outcome.
Muffle the warning by adding an explicit cast. This is ugly and
pointless, though: other suggestions are welcome.
