[issue26352] getpass incorrectly displays password prompt on stderr on fallback

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

stdout is much more likely to be redirected than stderr, so falling back to stderr makes more sense than falling back to stdout.  In the normal case, the prompt is shown regardless of whether stdout is redirected, and we're trying our best to replicate that in the fallback.
