Wait, what?

I don't think it is an improvement to call the command line matchpathcon 
applications and have the logs go somewhere not visible by the user. IMO 
we should take the same approach libsemanage and libsepol did where the 
logging callbacks can be overridden by specific users of the library but 
for the command line applications the output still goes to stderr.
