Prevent broken pipes causing ICEs
As the private `std::io::print_to` panics if there is an I/O error, which is used by `println!`, the compiler would ICE if one attempted to use a broken pipe (e.g. `rustc --help | false`). This introduces a new (private) macro `try_println!` which allows us to avoid this.
As a side note, it seems this macro might be useful publicly (and actually there seems to be [a crate specifically for this purpose](https://crates.io/crates/try_print/)), though that can probably be left for a future discussion.
One slight alternative approach would be to simply early exit without an error (i.e. exit code `0`), which [this comment](rust-lang#34376 (comment)) suggests is the usual approach. I've opted not to take that approach initially, because I think it's more helpful to know when there is a broken pipe.
Fixesrust-lang#34376.
