QIOChannel: Add flags on io_writev and introduce io_flush callback

Add flags to io_writev and introduce io_flush as optional callback to
QIOChannelClass, allowing the implementation of zero copy writes by
subclasses.

How to use them:
- Write data using qio_channel_writev*(...,QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY),
- Wait write completion with qio_channel_flush().

Notes:
As some zero copy write implementations work asynchronously, it's
recommended to keep the write buffer untouched until the return of
qio_channel_flush(), to avoid the risk of sending an updated buffer
instead of the buffer state during write.

As io_flush callback is optional, if a subclass does not implement it, then:
- io_flush will return 0 without changing anything.

Also, some functions like qio_channel_writev_full_all() were adapted to
receive a flag parameter. That allows shared code between zero copy and
non-zero copy writev, and also an easier implementation on new flags.
