Fix stderr printing functions (#894)

* Fix stderr printing functions

Follow-up of #822

* Errors go to stderr as per POSIX

* use PrintErrf() instead of extra call to Sprintf()

* Error messages should always be printed to os.Stderr.

* add test case for Print* redirection

Thanks: @bukowa for the patch.
