[PATCH] am: ignore return value of write_file()

write_file() either returns 0 or dies, so there is no point in checking its return value. The callers of the wrappers write_state_text(), write_state_count() and write_state_bool() consequently already ignore their return values. Stop pretenting we care and make them void.
