fix failed write reporting by fwrite in line-buffered mode

when a write error occurred while flushing output due to a newline,
fwrite falsely reported all bytes up to and including the newline as
successfully written. in general, due to buffering such "spurious
success" returns are acceptable for stdio; however for line-buffered
mode it was subtly wrong. errors were still visible via ferror() or as
a short-write return if there was more data past the newline that
should have been written, but since the contract for line-buffered
mode is that everything up through the newline be written out
immediately, a discrepency was observable in the actual file contents.
