Remove errors.Print (#23)
errors.Print had a number of problems. Firstly, it was hard coded to
print to os.Stderr, which made it difficult to test, and hard to write
an example test for. Secondly, comments made in issue #20 make it clear
that helpers need to have a high bar for inclusion in this package, and
something that wrapped errors.Fprint in a way that was hard to test
fails that bar.
So, Remove errors.Print, which frees the identifier for being reused
later, and reduces the size of the package.
