iov: iov tail helpers

In the vhost-user code we have a number of places where we need to locate
a particular header within the guest-supplied IO vector.  We need to work
out which buffer the header is in, and verify that it's contiguous and
aligned as we need.  At the moment this is open-coded, but introduce a
helper to make this more straightforward.

We add a new datatype 'struct iov_tail' representing an IO vector from
which we've logically consumed some number of headers.  The IOV_PULL_HEADER
macro consumes a new header from the vector, returning a pointer and
updating the iov_tail.
