SDL: Removed SDL_WriteProcess()

From e67347944910653edafc7b00e51c298e50a37a00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Removed SDL_WriteProcess()

This had the unfortunate side-effect of blocking if you tried to write too much. Instead you can use SDL_GetProcessInput() and handle SDL_IO_STATUS_NOT_READY as needed.

Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/10834
