Add an internal struct iovec that we can return as a pointer, with the
fields of the iovec overlapping with the ITER_UBUF ubuf and length
fields.
Then we can have iter_iov() check for the appropriate type, and return
&iter->__ubuf_iovec for ITER_UBUF and iter->__iov for ITER_IOVEC and
things will magically work out for a single segment request regardless
of either type.
