correctly handle write errors encountered by printf-family functions
previously, write errors neither stopped further output attempts nor caused the function to return an error to the caller. this could result in silent loss of output, possibly in the middle of output in the event of a non-permanent error. the simplest solution is temporarily clearing the error flag for the target stream, then suppressing further output when the error flag is set and checking/restoring it at the end of the operation to determine the correct return value. since the wide version of the code internally calls the narrow fprintf to perform some of its underlying operations, initial clearing of the error flag is suppressed when performing a narrow vfprintf on a wide-oriented stream. this is not a problem since the behavior of narrow operations on wide-oriented streams is undefined.
