    rbt patch can now write patches to a local file by passing
    --write=<filename>. This works just like --print with a redirect to
    a file, but avoids any possibility of unwanted output being written.

    This cannot be used along with --print or --revert. Either will exit
    early with an error.

    This change is based on https://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/11676/ by
    André Klitzing, and was updated to remove some legacy handling of diff
    content Unicode strings and to rename the option from --file to
    --write.

    Tested --print, --write, and --print > filename on Python 2 and 3,
    with diffs containing Unicode content. In all cases, the file content
    was written/outputted correctly and consistently.

    Tested that neither --write nor --print could be used with each other
    or with --revert.
