[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 2/5] libcamera: base: log: Replace stderr with std::cerr in documentation

[Laurent Pinchart]

While std::cerr and stderr both target the same file by default, this
may be overridden by applications. Update the documentation to use
std::cerr instead of stderr to be accurate.
