This function currently has only one caller: `apply_multi_file_filter()`
in `convert.c`. That caller wants a flush packet to be written after
writing the payload.

However, we are about to introduce a user that wants to write many
packets before a final flush packet, so let's extend this function to
prepare for that scenario.

I think this is a sign that the function is not very well-designed in
the first place. It seems like the code would be easier to understand
overall if that caller just explicitly did the flush itself. It even
already does so in other cases!

Something like (untested):

I agree.  I'll move flush to the caller and rename the write packetized
function slightly to guard against new callers assuming the old behavior
during the transition.
