Subject: Handle writes to closed language-server pipes

A language server can exit and close its communication pipe before
vis-lspc sends its next RPC message. The resulting Lua file-handle error
escapes the RPC function and interrupts editing. Catch failures from write
and flush, log the server name and error, and return false instead.
