util/iov: Remove qemu_iovec_init_extended()

bdrv_pad_request() was the main user of qemu_iovec_init_extended().
HEAD^ has removed that use, so we can remove qemu_iovec_init_extended()
now.

The only remaining user is qemu_iovec_init_slice(), which can easily
inline the small part it really needs.

Note that qemu_iovec_init_extended() offered a memcpy() optimization to
initialize the new I/O vector.  qemu_iovec_concat_iov(), which is used
to replace its functionality, does not, but calls qemu_iovec_add() for
every single element.  If we decide this optimization was important, we
will need to re-implement it in qemu_iovec_concat_iov(), which might
also benefit its pre-existing users.
