iov: Introduce a new file for helpers around iovs, add iov_from_buf()

The virtio-net code uses iov_fill() which fills an iov from a linear
buffer. The virtio-serial-bus code does something similar in an
open-coded function.

Create a new iov.c file that has iov_from_buf().

Convert virtio-net and virtio-serial-bus over to use this functionality.
virtio-net used ints to hold sizes, the new function is going to use
size_t types.

Later commits will add the opposite functionality -- going from an iov
to a linear buffer.
