Type error in sendfile configure probe

Description

The Linux sendfile function expects an off_t * argument, not an int * argument. The patch avoids a stack out-of-bounds write in this run-time test, and a compiler error with future compilers such as GCC 14.

An alternative fix could pass 0 for the parameter.

Thanks. Yes, you are correct. The lighttpd code in src/network_write.c uses off_t with sendfile()
