bind: pass &v[0] in direct call to C

In Go 1.6, the cgo checking rules are more precise when they see an
address operation as an argument to the C function.  When you pass &v[0]
to a C function, the cgo check just verifies that v itself does not
contain any pointers.  When you write `p := &v[0]` and then pass p to
the C function, the cgo check is conservative: it verifies that the
entire memory block to which p points does not contain any pointers.
When the bind function is called by code that passes a slice that is
part of a larger struct, this means that the cgo check will look at the
entire larger struct, not just the slice.  This can cause a surprising
run time failure.

Avoid this problem by rewriting the code slightly to pass &v[0] in the
call to the C function itself.

In particular this fixes the tests of github.com/jmoiron/sqlx when using
Go 1.6.
