Implement a -t option, to easily select an acronyms list from /usr/share/misc.

One can do `wtf -t comp pci' and it will use /usr/share/misc/acronyms.comp
to search the acronym as usual.

Fix the part of pr8201 which is IMHO a bug: the error message now goes
...
to stderr.
The existing error message ("I don't know what xxx means") is
unchanged, as it is stylisticly in keeping with the light-hearted
nature of the program, and is also more likely to be accurate than the
"no such acronym" error message proposed in 8201.
