wireprotoserver: ensure that output stream gets flushed on exception Previously flush was happening due to Python finalizer being run on `BufferedWriter`. With upgrade to Python 3.11 this started randomly failing. My guess is that the finalizer on the raw `FileIO` object may be running before the finalizer of `BufferedWriter` has a chance to run. At any rate, since we're not relying on finalizers in the happy case we should also not rely on them in case of exception.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
