tools/ocaml/xb: Drop Xs_ring.write

This function is unusued (only Xs_ring.write_substring is used), and the
bytes/string conversion here is backwards: the C stub implements the bytes
version and then we use a Bytes.unsafe_of_string to convert a string into
bytes.

However the operation here really is read-only: we read from the string and
write it to the ring, so the C stub should implement the read-only string
version, and if needed we could use Bytes.unsafe_to_string to be able to send
'bytes'. However that is not necessary as the 'bytes' version is dropped above.
