capture.output() does not work in non-interactive mode #153
Description
We need to use stdout when there is an active sink, I suppose? I am not entirely sure. Reprex:
❯ R -q -e 'capture.output(cli::cli_text("time: {100} year{?s}"))'
> capture.output(cli::cli_text("time: {100} year{?s}"))
time: 100 years

Or rather, the other way. Messages go to stderr by default and we only want to deter them to stdout, if this does not cause any detectable difference.
So that means that if there is a sink for stdout or stderr, then we output to stderr.
