[issue26352] getpass incorrectly displays password prompt on stderr on fallback

[Matt Hooks]

Matt Hooks added the comment:

Patch attached.

I'm unsure whether forcing the warning message to stderr is the right choice here, but it seems unlikely that users would want their warning and password prompt on the same stream.  The alternative here would be a second kwarg, but that seems overkill.
