warnings and errors from stderr should be output on stderr (instead of stdout)

[rhaschke]

The compact output summary of catkin tools is really great.
However, using it with qtcreator (> 4), poses the issue, that warnings and errors are no longer on stderr, but they are redirected to stdout by catkin_tools. For this reason, qtcreator doesn't parse those warnings/errors anymore to allow for source-code hyperlinking.

Could you consider to output warnings/errors on stderr again?

This is not only an issue with QtCreator 4.x but also earlier versions. And I would expect also other IDEs. It was also shortly discussed in #157. A quick work-around is to simply pipe the entire catkin build output to stderr - the result is not pretty, but it usually works well enough.

@rhaschke I was looking at these this week. I'm still trying to figure out how #400 and #362 and #362 (comment) all fit together.
