atomic write for sideband remote messages

It has been a few times that I ended up with such a confusing display:

|remote: Generating pack...
|remote: Done counting 17 objects.
|remote: Result has 9 objects.
|remote: Deltifying 9 objects.
|remote:  100% (9/9) done
|remote: Unpacking 9 objects
|Total 9, written 9 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0)
| 100% (9/9) done

The confusion can be avoided in most cases by writing the remote message
in one go to prevent interleacing with local messages.  The buffer
declaration has been moved inside recv_sideband() to avoid extra string
copies.
