Don't log verbose by default

Current behavior:
rcli always logs to stdout. This makes parsing the structured output a pain.
rcli exec -o json device.example.com "show interface" | jq .
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 15
Expected behavior:
Option 1:
- Don't log info/verbose by default
- When
-v
or--verbose
is set, log to stderr - always log errors to stderr
This is equivalent to the behavior of curl.
Option 2:
- Only log to stdout when no pipe is attached to stdout
- can be checked using
os.ModeCharDevice
- can be checked using
- errors log to stderr
I prefer Option 1.

Nevermind, apparently there was an old version of the flake pinned in our repo. The current main
logs to stderr.
This reduces the scope of the issue to:
- Only log anything else then
error
when-v
/--version
is set.
