iov_send_recv(): Handle zero bytes case even if OS does not

POSIX allows sendmsg() and recvmsg() to fail EMSGSIZE if passed a zero
msg.msg_iovlen (in particular the MacOS X implementation will do this).
Handle the case where iov_send_recv() is passed a zero byte count
explicitly, to avoid accidentally depending on the OS to treat zero
msg_iovlen as a no-op.
