All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will end with an incomplete line. Introduce WRITE_FILE_BINARY flag bit, which no existing callers pass, and unless that bit is set, make sure that write_file() adds an extra LF at the end of an incomplete line as necessary.
