test-skeleton.c: Use stdout for error messages
Commit Message
At the moment the test skeleton uses a mixture of stdout and
stderr for error message output. Using stdout for all test output
keeps all output correctly ordered and properly redirected to the
output file. The suggestion to use stdout is also made on the wiki:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Testing/Testsuite#Writing_a_test_case
ChangeLog:
2014-04-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* test-skeleton.c (signal_handler): Use printf and strerror
rather than perror. Use printf rather than fprintf to
stderr.
(main): Likewise.

You could just use %m here. Likewise for other instances of strerror.

This looks good to me with the above changes, but I think a senior
maintainer should review this as well before it goes in.

Agreed.

puts outputs a newline implicitly, so when converting to puts you should
remove the \n from the string.

The patch is OK with the requested changes.
