pkt-line: add packet_write_gently()
packet_write_fmt_gently() uses format_packet() which lets the caller
only send string data via "%s". That means it cannot be used for
arbitrary data that may contain NULs.
Add packet_write_gently() which writes arbitrary data and does not die
in case of an error. The function is used by other pkt-line functions in
a subsequent patch.
