printf_stderr now works out of the box on Windows

15 years ago we landed a change to make printf_stderr reopen fd 2 instead of using stderr directly to work around a linking issue. This prevented printf_stderr from showing up in the console on Windows. I landed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1680402 this week to fix this. Now you

FWIW, https://github.com/jrmuizel/gecko-cinnabar doesn't have the CVS history so is no better than https://github.com/mozilla/gecko. Having a canonical repo that includes the CVS history will make the SHA's incompatible with doing a direct conversion of hg which is a disadvantage. I'm not sure
