Modified Files:
	src/sbin/sysctl: sysctl.c

Log Message:
Tweak behaviour introduced in rev 1.50;
    *	by default, warning messages go to stderr
    *	if -A or -a is used, send warning messages to stdout instead.

The behaviour in 1.50 meant that
	somevar=`sysctl -n machdep.booted_kernel 2>/dev/null`
could end up with $somevar="machdep.booted_kernel: the value is not available"
rather than the more useful $somevar="".

(This way, "sysctl -A | grep ..." is still useful.)
