fuzz: unblock SIGALRM so the timeout works

The timeout mechanism won't work if SIGALRM is blocked. This changes
unmasks SIGALRM when the timer is installed. This doesn't completely
solve the problem, as the fuzzer could trigger some device activity that
re-masks SIGALRM. However, there are currently no inputs on OSS-Fuzz
that re-mask SIGALRM and timeout. If that turns out to be a real issue,
we could try to hook sigmask-type calls, or use a separate timer thread.
