📄 Description

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

Written by Jim Meyering.

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.

Added on commit f019f0ec3 ("Print version on startup for
firejail/firecfg", 2023-05-11) / PR #5829.
