[PATCH v2 3/5] reftable/writer: simplify writing index records

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date

Message-ID
<b3de0b7f3b3dfbe9cfa6a20220e20cb884b3539c.1706773842.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1706773842.git.ps@pks.im>

When finishing the current section some index records might be written for the section to the table. The logic that adds these records to the writer duplicates what we already have in `writer_add_record()`, making this more complicated than it really has to be.

Simplify the code by using `writer_add_record()` instead. While at it, drop the unneeded braces around a loop to make the code conform to our code style better.
