sequencer: refactor write_message() to take a pointer/length

Previously, we required an strbuf. But that limits the use case too much.
In the upcoming patch series (for which the current patch series prepares
the sequencer), we will want to write content to a file for which we have
a pointer and a length, not an strbuf.
