[PATCH v13 03/20] pkt-line: add gentle version of packet_write

[David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>]

From: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>

packet_write calls write_or_die, which dies with a sigpipe even if
calling code has explicitly blocked that signal.

Add packet_write_gently and packet_flush_gently, which don't.  Soon,
we will use this for communication with git index-helper, which, being
merely an optimization, should be permitted to die without disrupting
clients.
