[PATCH v9 07/14] pkt-line: add packet_write_fmt_gently()

[larsxschneider@gmail.com]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

packet_write_fmt() would die in case of a write error even though for
some callers an error would be acceptable. Add packet_write_fmt_gently()
which writes a formatted pkt-line like packet_write_fmt() but does not
die in case of an error. The function is used in a subsequent patch.
