uncommit output shouldn't go to stderr

[William Fagan]

There is 2 parts of the uncommit output that go to stderr which I think should go to stdout.

Are you sure [y/N]?

You can restore the old tip by running:
  bzr pull . -r revid:<email address hidden>

I'm running 1.7

Also update has some output going to stderr which I don't think should be.

First one is questionable (when a tree is up to date already). Technically nothing went wrong so I don't know if it should go to stderr or not.
     Tree is up to date at revision 9.

The second one I am pretty sure should not go to stderr (on a successful update).
     All changes applied successfully.
     Updated to revision 10.

Commit does the same... This goes to stderr.

Committing to: /home/will/test/
Committed revision 14.

It seems like a lot of them are going to stderr so maybe this was a design choice. Not sure.

Indeed, its a design choice; I believe we document it in HACKING.

Basically we want:
 - the core output of a command to stdout
 - everything else to stderr

(so bzr -q command / -v command won't usually change the std output at
all, they will however add/remove output on stderr)
