James R. Barlow a13d27bfb5 Protect stdout from corruption when writing PDF to standard output
Writing the output PDF to stdout (ocrmypdf in.pdf -) previously relied on
an honor system: no in-process code -- third-party libraries, plugins, or
stray print() calls -- was supposed to write to stdout, enforced only
indirectly. A single accidental write to fd 1 would silently corrupt the
output PDF.

Enforce this at the OS level. At CLI startup, before plugins load or any
worker process/thread starts, save the real stdout via os.dup() and point
fd 1 at stderr, so stray writes are diverted to stderr while only the final
"produce the PDF" step writes to the preserved descriptor. Exposed as the
opt-in public API function configure_stdout_protection(), mirroring
configure_logging(); it is not enabled inside ocr() so in-process library
users keep their own stdout.

Also fix check_requested_output_file() to test the preserved real stdout
for tty-ness, since after the redirect sys.stdout reports stderr's status.

Fold unreleased v17.7.2 notes into v17.8.0.
