libceph: implement multiple data items in a message
This patch adds support to the messenger for more than one data item in its data list. A message data cursor has two more fields to support this: - a count of the number of bytes left to be consumed across all data items in the list, "total_resid" - a pointer to the head of the list (for validation only) The cursor initialization routine has been split into two parts: the outer one, which initializes the cursor for traversing the entire list of data items; and the inner one, which initializes the cursor to start processing a single data item. When a message cursor is first initialized, the outer initialization routine sets total_resid to the length provided. The data pointer is initialized to the first data item on the list. From there, the inner initialization routine finishes by setting up to process the data item the cursor points to. Advancing the cursor consumes bytes in total_resid. If the resid field reaches zero, it means the current data item is fully consumed. If total_resid indicates there is more data, the cursor is advanced to point to the next data item, and then the inner initialization routine prepares for using that. (A check is made at this point to make sure we don't wrap around the front of the list.) The type-specific init routines are modified so they can be given a length that's larger than what the data item can support. The resid field is initialized to the smaller of the provided length and the length of the entire data item. When total_resid reaches zero, we're done.
