std: Switch stdout/stderr to buffered by default

Similarly to #12422 which made stdin buffered by default, this commit makes the
output streams also buffered by default. Now that buffered writers will flush
their contents when they are dropped, I don't believe that there's no reason why
the output shouldn't be buffered by default, which is what you want in 90% of
cases.

As with stdin, there are new stdout_raw() and stderr_raw() functions to get
unbuffered streams to stdout/stderr.
