[PATCH v2 11/23] libmultipath: add vector_convert()

[Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>]

This is a handy helper for creating one vector from another,
mapping each element of the origin vector to an element of
the target vector with a given conversion function. It can
also be used to "concatenate" vectors by passing in a non-NULL first
argument.
