sed: check errors writing file with sed -i

sed would currently not error if write failed when modifying a file.

This can be reproduced with the following 'script':
$ sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs -o size=1M /tmp/m
$ sudo chmod 777 /tmp/m
$ echo foo > /tmp/m/foo
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/m/fill bs=4k
dd: error writing '/tmp/m/fill': No space left on device
256+0 records in
255+0 records out
1044480 bytes (1.0 MB, 1020 KiB) copied, 0.00234567 s, 445 MB/s
$ busybox sed -i -e 's/.*/bar/' /tmp/m/foo
$ echo $?
0
$ cat /tmp/m/foo
<empty>

new behaviour:
$ echo foo > /tmp/m/foo
$ ./busybox sed -i -e 's/.*/bar/' /tmp/m/foo
sed: write error
$ echo $?
4
$ cat /tmp/m/foo
foo
