rename qemu_sendv to iov_send, change proto and move declarations to iov.h
Rename arguments and use size_t for sizes instead of int, from int qemu_sendv(int sockfd, struct iovec *iov, int len, int iov_offset) to ssize_t iov_send(int sockfd, struct iovec *iov, size_t offset, size_t bytes) The main motivation was to make it clear that length and offset are in _bytes_, not in iov elements: it was very confusing before, because all standard functions which deals with iovecs expects number of iovs, not bytes, even the fact that struct iovec has iov_len and iov_ prefix does not help. With "bytes" and "offset", especially since they're now size_t, it is much more explicit. Also change the return type to be ssize_t instead of int. This also changes it to match other iov-related functons, but not _quite_: there's still no argument indicating where iovec ends, ie, no iov_cnt parameter as used in iov_size() and friends. If will be added in subsequent patch/rewrite. All callers of qemu_sendv() and qemu_recvv() and related, like qemu_co_sendv() and qemu_co_recvv(), were checked to verify that it is safe to use unsigned datatype instead of int. Note that the order of arguments is changed to: offset and bytes (len and iov_offset) are swapped with each other. This is to make them consistent with very similar functions from qemu_iovec family, where offset always follows qiov, to mean the place in it to start from.
