libiberty: writeargv: Simplify function error mode.
You are right, this is also a remnant of the old function design
that I completely missed. Here is the follow-up patch for that.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks. I've pushed this to the trunk.
You could (as a follow-up) simplify it even further. There's no need
for the status variable as far as I can tell. You could just have the
final return be "return 0;" instead of "return status;".

* argv.c (writeargv): Constant propagate "0" for "status",
simplifying the code slightly.
