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.
