view.ToVectorisedView() now just returns an empty vectorised
view if the view is of zero length. Earlier it would return
a VectorisedView of zero length but with 1 empty view. This
has been a source of bugs as lower layers don't expect
zero length views in VectorisedViews.
VectorisedView.AppendView() now is a no-op if the view being
appended is of zero length.

These methods let users eaily break the VectorisedView abstraction, and
allowed netstack to slip into pseudo-enforcement of the "all headers are
in the first View" invariant. Removing them and replacing with PullUp(n)
breaks this reliance and will make it easier to add iptables support and
rework network buffer management.
The new View.PullUp(n) method is low cost in the common case, when when
all the headers fit in the first View.

Software GSO implementation currently has a complicated code path with
implicit assumptions that all packets to WritePackets carry same Data
and it does this to avoid allocations on the path etc. But this makes it
hard to reuse the WritePackets API.
This change breaks all such assumptions by introducing a new Vectorised
View API ReadToVV which can be used to cleanly split a VV into multiple
independent VVs. Further this change also makes packet buffers linkable
to form an intrusive list. This allows us to get rid of the array of
packet buffers that are passed in the WritePackets API call and replace
it with a list of packet buffers.
While this code does introduce some more allocations in the benchmarks
it doesn't cause any degradation.
