Still prints to stdout if problem is with PATH

Binary package hint: command-not-found

Bug #129257 fixes the general case of printing error messages to standard output, but the code which deals with an incorrect PATH still prints to standard output.

vnix$ PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

vnix$ lesspipe
Command 'lesspipe' is available in '/usr/bin/lesspipe'
The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
bash: lesspipe: command not found

vnix$ lesspipe >/dev/null
bash: lesspipe: command not found

vnix$ lesspipe 2>/dev/null
Command 'lesspipe' is available in '/usr/bin/lesspipe'
The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.

vnix$ /usr/lib/command-not-found --version

Here's a quick and somewhat untidy (sorry) patch which attempts to fix the printing of the PATH message to standard error instead of standard output, and also the "kaboom" message in /usr/lib/command-not-found

It needs to be said that I am no Python programmer, and am unsure how I would test this. The diff as such is trivial, and should not take many seconds to clean up or reimplement properly.

Thanks! I cleaned it up a little and committed it to bzr for the next upload.
