*: Replace usage of &vector[0] with vector.data()
We use &vector[0] in several places to get the pointer to vector data, but std::vector[i] states invariant that i must be < vector.size(). If the vector is not empty - then &vector[0] works ok. However if the vector is empty - then the invariant is broken. Normally it should not be a problem, since with empty vector we usually use (&vector[0], vector.size()) pair, and for empty vector its size is zero. In other words even if &vector[0] returns some not good pointer with zero size that data should never be accessed. But a build of libstdc++ could have asserts turned on and verify that i is actually < size. For example with default install on Fedora the following program with plain select() from golang import select select() crashes with assert triggered on the breakage of that invariant [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". /usr/include/c++/10/bits/stl_vector.h:1042: std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[](std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type) [with _Tp = golang::_selcase; _Alloc = std::allocator<golang::_selcase>; std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference = golang::_selcase&; std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__builtin_expect(__n < this->size(), true)' failed.

No need to add new test since select() is used by test_blockforever() and running that test on Fedora was crashing as well. /reviewed-by @jerome /reviewed-at !22
