Default terminal destination should probably be stderr #31

The purpose of the stderr stream is error messages and diagnostics, which is exactly what logging output is. But, currently, terminal logging defaults to stdout. Please consider changing this default to stderr.

Thank you for creating this issue. Your opinion sounds reasonable and I'm positive to adopt the change. A difficult point is that it will break backward compatibility and we should need to wait to apply the change until the version 2.0.0 of sloggers is released (the date has not been determined yet).
