[xfer] Make consistent assumptions that xfer metadata can never be NULL

The documentation in xfer.h and xfer.c does not say that the metadata
parameter is optional in calls such as xfer_deliver_iob_meta() and the
deliver_iob() method.  However, some code in net/ is prepared to
accept a NULL pointer, and xfer_deliver_as_iob() passes a NULL pointer
directly to the deliver_iob() method.

Fix this mess of conflicting assumptions by making everything assume
that the metadata parameter is mandatory, and fixing
xfer_deliver_as_iob() to pass in a dummy metadata structure (as is
already done in xfer_deliver_iob()).
