posix: Fix and simplify default p{read,write}v implementation
Currently all architectures but microblaze use wire-up syscall for
p{readv,write}v.  Microblaze still uses the syscall emulation using
sysdep/posix/p{readv,writev}.c and it was reported in some ocasions
[1] [2] that it might have some issues with some linux specific
usage (mainly with O_DIRECT and the alignment requirement).

Although it is not an issue for virtually all the system, this
patch refactors the sysdeps/posix p{read,write}v syscall to avoid
such issue (by using posix_memalign on the buffer used on
p{read,write} call) and by refactoring it common files to avoid
the need check on defines to correct set the alias and internal
symbols.

Checked on microblaze-linux-gnu check with run-built-tests=no and
by using the sysdeps/posix implementation on x86_64-linux-gnu (just
for sanity test where it shown no regression).
