Write the data produced by the chunks to their output files. This is mostly
a wrapper around write_csv that figures out file names, processes
table flags, writes metadata comments, and so forth.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a wart in readr v 1.1 and
later that causes floating point data to be written as integers if they
happen to have integer values. This can cause problems if there are so many
apparently-integer values before the first obviously-float value that
read_csv concludes that the column should have integer type. If this
seems to be happening to your table, add the PROTECT_FLOAT flag to it, and
any floating point data in your table will be protected before it is
written. Use this option sparingly, as the data written that way tends to be
a lot bigger, owing to the large number of digits we have to write.
