util: Add write_remainder() helper

We have several places where we want to write(2) a buffer or buffers and we
handle short write()s by retrying until everything is successfully written.
Add a helper for this in util.c.

This version has some differences from the typical write_all() function.
First, take an IO vector rather than a single buffer, because that will be
useful for some of our cases.  Second, allow it to take an parameter to
skip the first n bytes of the given buffers.  This will be useful for some
of the cases we want, and also falls out quite naturally from the
implementation.
