Subject: Ask For Comment: add new API related to sg_miter_start in scatter list

Like sg_miter_start, the new API also init the __offset element of miter
with given parameter.
Then the precesure of sg_miter_start, sg_miter_next and sg_miter_stop
could be carried out as smoothly as sg_copy_buffer does,  with
all __xyz elements of miter untouched outside miter.
