#3937 Improve lsdef return values

It would be nice to make "lsdef" to return non-zero code in case of failure to find an object and to print error message to stderr instead of stdout. This will help with using lsdef in scripts.

Here is what we have now:

lsdef -t osdistro -o rhels6.3-x86_63 2>/dev/null

Could not find an object named 'rhels6.3-x86_63' of type 'osdistro'.

echo $?

Guang Cheng,

This seems more like a bug than a feature request. Can you work on this? Thx.

Guang Cheng,

Can you do this in 2.8.4? Would be a good thing to clean up. Thx.
