No auth used in .setOK alive thread

In alive.c, there's no way to specify "AUTH" to the server. So If you have long running jobs (job time > ft checks) and a password-protected server, all the jobs are detected as fails by the master. The "alive" tag never gets written to the server beacuse alive.c can't log in without authorization.
The symptom is that long-running jobs loop endlessly.

yes, this is a big bug. Working on a fix.

Yeah thanks - I played for a bit trying to write a fix, but it looked tricky as I saw it.
