util/ioc.c: try to reassure Coverity about qemu_iovec_init_extended

Make it more obvious, that filling qiov corresponds to qiov allocation,
which in turn corresponds to total_niov calculation, based on mid_niov
(not mid_len). Still add an assertion to show that there should be no
difference.

[Added mingw "error: 'mid_iov' may be used uninitialized in this
function" compiler error fix suggested by Vladimir.
