etcdserver: Use panic instead of fatal on no space left error
When using the embed package to embed etcd, sometimes the storage prefix being used might be full. In this case, this code path triggers, causing an: `etcdserver: create wal error: no space left on device` error, which causes a fatal. A fatal differs from a panic in that it also calls os.Exit(1). In this situation, the calling program that embeds the etcd server will be abruptly killed, which prevents it from cleaning up safely, and giving a proper error message. Depending on what the calling program is, this can cause corruption and data loss. This patch switches the fatal to a panic. Ideally this would be a regular error which would get propagated upwards to the StartEtcd command, but in the meantime at least this can be caught with recover(). This fixes the most common fatal that I've experienced, but there are surely more that need looking into. If possible, the errors should be threaded down into the code path so that embedding etcd can be more robust. Fixes: etcd-io#10588
