r23977: Im prove the pwrite-patch to tdb_expand_file of r23972:

* prevent infinite loops due to 0 bytes written:
  try once more. if we still get 0 as return,
  set errno to ENOSPC and return -1 (error)

* replace int by correct types (ssize_t and size_t).

* print a warning log message in case "written < requested to write"
  usually this means, that the next call to pwrite will fail
  with return value -1 and set errno accordingly.

  Note that the former error condition "written != requested to write"
  is not a correct error condition of write/pwrite. If this is due
  to an error, a subsequent call to (p)write will reveal the cause
  (typically "no space left on device" - ENOSPC).
