streams: fix callers potentially only writing partial data
Similar to the write(3) function, implementations of `git_stream_write`
do not guarantee that all bytes are written. Instead, they return the
number of bytes that actually have been written, which may be smaller
than the total number of bytes. Furthermore, due to an interface design
issue, we cannot ever write more than `SSIZE_MAX` bytes at once, as
otherwise we cannot represent the number of bytes written to the caller.
Unfortunately, no caller of `git_stream_write` ever checks the return
value, except to verify that no error occurred. Due to this, they are
susceptible to the case where only partial data has been written.
Fix this by introducing a new function `git_stream__write_full`. In
contrast to `git_stream_write`, it will always return either success or
failure, without returning the number of bytes written. Thus, it is able
to write all `SIZE_MAX` bytes and loop around `git_stream_write` until
all data has been written. Adjust all callers except the BIO callbacks
in our mbedtls and OpenSSL streams, which already do the right thing and
require the amount of bytes written.
