The error of a failed statement is printed in the status footer's place, and -t suppresses that footer, so with -t a broken query printed nothing at all. For example `pgcli -t -c "select nope"` gives no output and exits 0, where `psql -t -c "select nope"` prints the error on stderr. Under -t the error now goes to stderr, so stdout still carries only rows, as with psql -t. Output without -t is unchanged. Tested against a live server: a pytest that fails without the change (the error reaches stderr and not the rows), a guard that a good query under -t writes nothing to stderr, and a behave scenario that runs pgcli -t -c with stdout and stderr captured apart.

pgcli -t -cwith stdout and stderr captured apart (there was no behave coverage of -t yet).The exit status of -c on a failed statement (0, where psql exits 1) is left for a separate change.
