3d06cea8256d54a6b0238934c31012f7f17100f5 util/iov: Make qiov_slice() public
We want to inline qemu_iovec_init_extended() in block/io.c for padding
requests, and having access to qiov_slice() is useful for this. As a
public function, it is renamed to qemu_iovec_slice().
(We will need to count the number of I/O vector elements of a slice
there, and then later process this slice. Without qiov_slice(), we
would need to call qemu_iovec_subvec_niov(), and all further
IOV-processing functions may need to skip prefixing elements to
accomodate for a qiov_offset. Because qemu_iovec_subvec_niov()
internally calls qiov_slice(), we can just have the block/io.c code call
qiov_slice() itself, thus get the number of elements, and also create an
iovec array with the superfluous prefixing elements stripped, so the
following processing functions no longer need to skip them.)
