util: Use unsigned (size_t) value for iov length

Browse Source 
The "correct" type for the length of an IOV is unclear: writev() and
readv() use an int, but sendmsg() and recvmsg() use a size_t.  Using the
unsigned size_t has some advantages, though, and it makes more sense for
the case of write_remainder.  Using size_t throughout here means we don't
have a signed vs. unsigned comparison, and we don't have to deal with
the case of iov_skip_bytes() returning a value which becomes negative
when assigned to an integer.
