Add support for --console-to-stderr switch.

If present, forces console.log() and console.info() to use stderr for output, rather than current default of stdout. Purpose is to tolerate simultaneous use of common JavaScript idioms regarding use of console API and standard unix idioms regarding use of stdout vs. stderr.
