  1. bugfix: print version to stderr on startup

    Unlike the rest of the normal startup output (which goes to stderr), the
    version number is being printed to stdout, which makes it harder to
    ignore all of firejail's output.  Example:
    
        $ firejail --noprofile /usr/bin/true --version 2>/dev/null
        firejail version 0.9.73
    
        true (GNU coreutils) 9.4

    So make the normal startup version output go to stderr and keep the
    other occurrences (such as in `firejail --version`) going to stdout, to
    make it easier to grep things in the output.
