Close translog writer if exception on write channel (#29401)
Today we close the translog write tragically if we experience any I/O exception on a write. These tragic closes lead to use closing the translog and failing the engine. Yet, there is one case that is missed which is when we touch the write channel during a read (checking if reading from the writer would put us past what has been flushed). This commit addresses this by closing the writer tragically if we encounter an I/O exception on the write channel while reading. This becomes interesting when we consider that this method is invoked from the engine through the translog as part of getting a document from the translog. This means we have to consider closing the translog here as well which will cascade up into us finally failing the engine. Note that there is no semantic change to, for example, primary/replica resync and recovery. These actions will take a snapshot of the translog which syncs the translog to disk. If an I/O exception occurs during the sync we already close the writer tragically and once we have synced we do not ever read past the position that was synced while taking the snapshot.
