packet: replace struct desc by struct iovec

To be able to manage buffers inside a shared memory provided
by a VM via a vhost-user interface, we cannot rely on the fact
that buffers are located in a pre-defined memory area and use
a base address and a 32bit offset to address them.

We need a 64bit address, so replace struct desc by struct iovec
and update range checking.
