[LTP] [PATCH 3/4] io_uring: Add test for varying buffer sizes with zero-length buffer

Add io_uring06 test to validate vectored I/O operations (IORING_OP_READV
and IORING_OP_WRITEV) with non-uniform buffer sizes including a
zero-length buffer.

The test verifies:
- Writing data using iovec with varying sizes (512, 0, 1024, 256 bytes)
- Reading data back into buffers of the same varying sizes
- Data integrity verification with zero-length buffer handling
- Proper handling of iovec arrays with mixed buffer sizes

This test ensures the kernel correctly handles zero-length buffers in
vectored I/O operations, which is important for applications that may
dynamically construct iovec arrays.
