Remove __ASSUME_COMPLETE_READV_WRITEV


This patch removes the __ASSUME_COMPLETE_READV_WRITEV
kernel-features.h macro, now that it can be unconditionally assumed to
be true.  (The relevant kernel feature was added some time between 2.0
and 2.2, and this macro is only used in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/.)

Tested x86_64 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by this patch.
