[PATCH 9/8] branch: use write_file_buf instead of write_file

If we already have a strbuf, then using write_file_buf is a little nicer to read (no wondering whether "%s" will eat your NULs), and it's more efficient (no extra formatting step).

We don't care about the newline magic of write_file(), as we have our own multi-line content.

Almost forgot this one. I had originally converted to write_file_buf
directly, but later reshuffled the patches to make the refactoring more
clear.
