Laurent's recent changes mean we use IO vectors much more heavily in the
TCP code. In many of those cases, and few others around the code base,
individual iovs of these vectors are constructed to exactly cover existing
variables or fields. We can make initializing such iovs shorter and
clearer with a macro for the purpose.

As pointed out in review, the documentation comments for iov_skip_bytes()
are more confusing than they should be. Reword them, including updating
parameter names, to make it clearer.

Several of the IOV functions in iov.c, and also tap_send_frames_passt()
needs to determine which buffer element a byte offset into an IO vector
lies in. Split this out into a helper function iov_skip_bytes().

Introduce functions to copy to/from a buffer from/to an iovec array,
to compute data length in in bytes of an iovec and to copy memory from
an iovec to another.
iov_from_buf(), iov_to_buf(), iov_size(), iov_copy().
