The `File::can_write` mechanism lets us check that writes won't block, meaning some bytes can be immediately written to the underlying device. This means calling `File::write` in a situation where no data could be written is a logic error, which we `VERIFY()` in `Process::do_write()`. TTY, in particular, processes the write in 256-byte buffered chunks. Previously, we would assert that none of these sub-writes returned zero. This was a logic error, as this rejected some successful writes. For example, if there was exactly enough free space in `SlavePty`'s internal buffer for the previous sub-write to complete fully. This made it impossible to perform writes larger than `SlavePty`'s internal buffer. Note that it's not an issue if `on_tty_write` returns zero, as partial writes are handled correctly by the `buffer.read_buffered` helper. We won't spin in a loop trying to write to a full buffer.
