[PATCH] run-command.c: fix build warnings on Ubuntu

Building git on Ubuntu 9.10 warns that the return value of write(2)
isn't checked. These warnings were introduced in commits:
2b541bf8 ("start_command: detect execvp failures early")
a5487ddf ("start_command: report child process setup errors to the
parent's stderr")
GCC details:
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1
Silence the warnings by reading (but not making use of) the return value
of write(2).

Although this will fix the build warnings, I am unsure if there is a
better way to achieve the same result. Using "(void)write(...)" still
gives warnings and I am unaware of any annotations that will silence
gcc.
