one of kill's error messages currently goes to stdout.  i'd
simply commit this, because it seems like a trivial change, until
i start looking at all of the code paths through kill_main(),
from the shell builtin, from killall, from killall5, etc.

(also, even if kill can't use bb_show_usage() for this reason, is
there a reason it shouldn't print out something that at least
looks like a usage message?  :-)
