writeargv can be simplified by getting rid of the error exit mode
that was only relevant many years ago when the function used
to open the file descriptor internally.

Subject: [PATCH] libiberty: writeargv: Simplify function error mode.

The goto-based error mode was based on a previous version
of the function where it was responsible for opening the
file, so it had to close it upon any exit:

(thanks pinskia)

This is no longer the case though since now the function
takes the file descriptor as input, so the exit mode on
error can be just a simple return 1 statement.
