[ptxdist] [PATCH v2 2/5] libptxdist: introduce ptxd_exec_silent_stderr

[Roland Hieber <rhi@pengutronix.de>]

Some programs  print stuff to stderr that are not errors and are
therefore not relevant to the usual build runs (e.g. openssl when
loading the PKCS#11 libraries), but they may still be useful for
debugging. When called with ptxd_exec_silent_stderr, stderr won't make
it to the terminal except with 'ptxdist -v', but the messages are still
available in the logfile.
