nutcracker core on heavy multi-del

today we got a core of twemproxy::

    $ gdb -c core.14420 ./bin/nutcracker

    748
    749         n = conn_sendv(conn, &sendv, nsend);

it is caused by this ``ASSERT`` at nc_message.c:745,

``conn_send`` send no more than ``NC_IOV_MAX(128)`` pieces in ``msg_send_chain``,

if the first fragment of MULTI-DEL response is send on last batch. and this is the last msg in send queue, the next call of ``msg_send_chain`` will got ``nsend == 0``::

following case show such a case:
1. mget on ``126`` keys
2. a mutli-del cmd

::

    def test_multi_delete_20140525():
        conn = redis.Redis('127.0.0.5', 4100)
        cnt = 126
        keys = ['key-%s'%i for i in range(cnt)]
        pipe = conn.pipeline(transaction=False)
        pipe.mget(keys)
        pipe.delete(*keys)
        print pipe.execute()
