Core: skip special buffers on writing (ticket #981).

A special last buffer with cl->buf->pos set to NULL can be present in
a chain when writing request body if chunked encoding was used.  This
resulted in a NULL pointer dereference if it happened to be the only
buffer left after a do...while loop iteration in ngx_write_chain_to_file().

The problem originally appeared in nginx 1.3.9 with chunked encoding
support.  Additionally, rev. 3832b608dc8d (nginx 1.9.13) changed the
minimum number of buffers to trigger this from IOV_MAX (typically 1024)
to NGX_IOVS_PREALLOCATE (typically 64).

Fix is to skip such buffers in ngx_chain_to_iovec(), much like it is
done in other places.
