[virt-tools-list] [PATCH 1/2 v3] Attempt to manage redirection in a way similar to Unix

This patch allows remote-viewer to redirect output/error streams to
files.
Also if launched from a console program (for instance from the command
prompt) you are able to see output from the console where you launch
the program.
This allow to launch the program with a syntax like
  > remote-viewer.exe --debug > log.txt 2>&1
or simply
  > remote-viewer.exe --debug
