Drop `vec_type` TLV handling entirely
Historically, we used `vec_type` for all TLV Vec reads/writes, but
it is asymmetric and thus somewhat confusing - on the write side it
always writes a TLV entry, even if there are zero elements. On the
read side, it happily accepts a missing TLV, providing a
zero-length vector.
In
85b573ddad70f3c5ee36e0992d587842af507a8d a new `optional_vec`
TLV format was added which was symmetric, but only supports
optional vecs.
Now that we've migrated entirely to the new `required_vec` TLV
type, we can entirely remove the awkward `vec_type`.
