We pass a `&mut dyn Write` in anyway, but now that's entirely up to the caller.

There shouldn't be any performance impact. They're already flushed automatically on drop, with this change we flush them manually before dropping so we can handle the errors. The docs say it's "critical" to call flush: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.BufWriter.html |

BufWritermust be flushed when you're done with it, since it'll ignore any write errors when it flushes on dropping. So many utilities would ignore write errors for small outputs. I went through all theBufWriters to add this where it was missing. (Exceptshuf, which is handled in #7585.)I also cleaned up some error reporting as I went.
sortused to panic on write errors and some other utilities added weird context to errors or no context at all.All the added flushes have Linux-only tests that use
/dev/full. That seemed the easiest way to do it.
