Patrick Steinhardt 104a6e9788 compat/posix: introduce writev(3p) wrapper
In a subsequent commit we're going to add the first caller to
writev(3p). Introduce a compatibility wrapper for this syscall that we
can use on systems that don't have this syscall.

The syscall exists on modern Unixes like Linux and macOS, and seemingly
even for NonStop according to [1]. It doesn't seem to exist on Windows
though.
