Writing the prompt to stderr greatly helps with the use of keepassxc-cli in automated scripts or as a password provider for programs like mutt or borg. This is done in accordance with POSIX that specifies that diagnostic messages be sent to stderr. This commit should be a first step in solving the following issues: keepassxreboot#831, keepassxreboot#1221

When using
keepassxc-cli showthe password prompt for the database is sent to stdout. This makes integrating keepass-cli into scripts problematic.Expected Behavior
The database password prompt should be sent to stderr or directly to the invoking pty, while only the entry itself is sent to stdout.
Current Behavior
The database password prompt and the entry are sent to stdout.
Possible Solution
keepassxc-cli should send the database password prompt either on stderr or on the invoking pty, leaving stdout for the requested entry
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
keepassxc-cli $db $entry 2>/dev/nullkeepassxc-cli $db $entry >/dev/nullStep 1 prints both the database password prompt and the entry, step 2 prints nothing.
