Bug #683 Prompt doesn't go to stderr on Windows

Description:
If you execute a client program with the -p option (with
no following password) and the output redirected, the
password prompt goes to the output file, not to the
console. As a result, the user never sees the prompt.

This appears to happen only on Windows.

How to repeat:
This works:

C:\> mysql -p
Enter password: ******

This doesn't:

C:\> mysql -p > junk

(user never sees prompt in second case)
