writev() can do a short write. Retrying it results in a very convoluted
and complex code, so we iterate over iovec and do regular stream_write()
instead.

These functions are allowed to overwrite their input. Pull a copy of the
input parameter and call dirname() and basename() on that instead. Do
ensure that we reload the pathname value between calls.
Adds virtio-console device support to bhyve, allowing to create
bidirectional character streams between host and guest.
Syntax:
-s <slotnum>,virtio-console,port1=/path/to/port1.sock,anotherport=...
Maximum of 16 ports per device can be created. Every port is named
and corresponds to an Unix domain socket created by bhyve. bhyve
accepts at most one connection per port at a time.
Limitations:
- due to lack of destructors of in bhyve, sockets on the filesystem
must be cleaned up manually after bhyve exits
- there's no way to use "console port" feature, nor the console port
resize as of now
- emergency write is advertised, but no-op as of now
