Introduce ast_careful_fwrite() and use in AMI to prevent partial writes.

This patch introduces a function to do careful writes on a file stream which
will handle timeouts and partial writes.  It is currently used in AMI to
address the issue that has been reported.  However, there are probably a few
other places where this could be used.

(closes issue #13546)
