[PATCH v5 2/2] Revert "compate/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU"

[Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>]

The previous commit introduced a size limit on IO chunks on all
platforms.  The compat clipped_write() is not needed anymore.

This reverts commit 6c642a878688adf46b226903858b53e2d31ac5c3.
