gh-155974: Restore the window attributes when a curses write fails - #155975
Merged

addstr(), addnstr(), insstr() and insnstr() set the window rendition to the caller's attr, write, then restore the previous rendition. Since 30dde1e the restore sits below an early return taken when the write fails, so a failed write leaves the caller's attr on the window and drops whatever the application had set with attrset(). Restore the rendition first and report the write error afterwards. A wattrset() failure is still reported when the write itself succeeded.
