log_error() would probably fail completely if used, and would certainly print garbage for anything that needed to be interpolated into the message, because it was failing to use the correct printing subroutine for a va_list argument. This bug likely went undetected because the error cases this code is used for are rarely exercised - they only occur when Windows security API calls fail catastrophically (out of memory, security subsystem corruption, etc). The FRONTEND variant can be fixed just by calling vfprintf() instead of fprintf(). However, there was no va_list variant of write_stderr(), so create one by refactoring that function. Following the usual naming convention for such things, call it vwrite_stderr().
