Fix sign-compare warnings in pg_iovec.h.

The code in question (pg_preadv() and pg_pwritev()) has been around
for a while, but commit 15c9ac3629 moved it to a header file.  If
third-party code that includes this header file is built with
-Wsign-compare on a system without preadv() or pwritev(), warnings
ensue.  This commit fixes said warnings by casting the result of
pg_pread()/pg_pwrite() to size_t, which should be safe because we
will have already checked for a negative value.
