fetch: avoid calling write_or_die()

The write_or_die() function has one quirk that a caller might not
expect: when it sees EPIPE from the write() call, it translates that
into a death by SIGPIPE. This doesn't change the overall behavior (the
program exits either way), but it does potentially confuse test scripts
looking for a non-signal exit code.

Let's switch away from using write_or_die() in a few code paths, which
will give us more consistent exit codes. It also gives us the
opportunity to write more descriptive error messages, since we have
context that write_or_die() does not.

Note that this won't do much by itself, since we'd typically be killed
by SIGPIPE before write_or_die() even gets a chance to do its thing.
That will be addressed in the next patch.
