detect and report output writing errors

Detect output errors when the program exits.

Currently:
    $ echo '{}' | jq . > /dev/full && echo ok
    ok

with the patch:
    $ echo '{}' | jq . > /dev/full && echo ok
    Error: writing output failed: No space left on device

also apply to hardware/network/other I/O errors.
