Now if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1
and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value
and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not
compatible with the previous one.
We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to
make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in
the middle.
It's now possible to run the tests like this:
GIT_TRACE=9 make test 9>/var/tmp/trace.log

The little helper write_or_die() won't come back with bad news about
full disks or broken pipes. It either succeeds or terminates the
program, making additional error handling unnecessary.
This patch adds the new function and uses it to replace two similar
ones (the one in tar-tree originally has been copied from cat-file
btw.). I chose to add the fd parameter which both lacked to make
write_or_die() just as flexible as write() and thus suitable for
lib-ification.
There is a regression: error messages emitted by this function don't
show the program name, while the replaced two functions did. That's
acceptable, I think; a lot of other functions do the same.
