This patchset contains fixes for some issues that occur when writing a 
large burst of packets at once, such as writing more packets than the
IOV_MAX limit and the problem of partial writing of a packet to a file 
if the writev() system call performs a partial write.
The typical use of pcapng in our cases is to copy the packets into a 
separate buffer and the process of writing to the file is done in some
slow path, for example by writing in a separate thread or at the end of
the application, where we don't mind the limitation of the typically 
slow speed of the storage medium.

  pcapng: check if writev() returns a partial write
