This is a reasonable backend for development/debugging.  It's just a
small step from DPRINTF() and that might work well with people's
existing development workflows.

Since most other QEMU diagnostics go to stderr, please use it here
too.  Also please change the name to "stderr" so it is immediately
obvious what this backend does.

Forgot to mention this but the generated header file needs to #include
<stdio.h>.
