do not ignore errors like ENOSPC,EIO when writing to stdout
Standard output was never explicitly closed, so we could not
detect failure. Thus, bison would ignore the errors of writing
to a full file system and getting an I/O error on write, but only
for standard output, e.g., for --print-localedir, --print-datadir,
--help and some verbose output.
Now, "bison --print-datadir > /dev/full" reports the write failure:
bison: write error: No space left on device
Before, it would exit 0 with no diagnostic, implying success.
This is not an issue for "--output=-" or the other FILE-accepting
command-line options, because unlike most other GNU programs,
an output file argument of "-" is treated as the literal "./-",
