use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengths

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:

-	write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+	strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+	write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+	strbuf_reset(&buf);

IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,

    static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
    {
           return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
    }

and then use it like this:

-       strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
-       write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
-       strbuf_reset(&buf);
+       write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");

Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.

Transformed via this:

    perl -pi -e \
        's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
      $(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')
