midx: return success/failure in chunk write methods
Historically, the chunk-writing methods in midx.c have returned the
amount of data written so the writer method could compare this with the
table of contents. This presents with some interesting issues:
1. If a chunk writing method has a bug that miscalculates the written
bytes, then we can satisfy the table of contents without actually
writing the right amount of data to the hashfile. The commit-graph
writing code checks the hashfile struct directly for a more robust
verification.
2. There is no way for a chunk writing method to gracefully fail.
Returning an int presents an opportunity to fail without a die().
3. The current pattern doesn't match chunk_write_fn type exactly, so we
cannot share code with commit-graph.c
For these reasons, convert the midx chunk writer methods to return an
'int'. Since none of them fail at the moment, they all return 0.
