Related to #11928 - `tee --stderr` doesn't really work as expected
without it

Print stderr streams to stderr in `pipeline_data::print_if_stream()`

This corrects unexpected behavior if a stream from an external program
is transformed while still preserving its stderr output. Before this
change, that output is just drained and discarded. Worse, it's drained
to a buffer, which could be really slow and memory hungry if there's a
lot of output on stderr.

This is needed to make `tee --stderr` function in a non-surprising way.
See #11928

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

A script that was erroneously not producing stderr output before might
now, but I can't think of a lot of examples of an external stream being
transformed without being converted.

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
