Describe the bug
When a flag to a Setup.hs is not recognized, then the error message is printed to stdout.
This is not what I would have expected.
To Reproduce
$ mkdir a-with-custom
$ cd a-with-custom
$ cabal init --lib --minimal -n
Then modify the cabal file:
cabal-version: 3.0
name: a-with-custom
version: 0.1.0.0
build-type: Custom
custom-setup
setup-depends:
Cabal <3.16,
base
library
exposed-modules: MyLib
build-depends: base
hs-source-dirs: src
default-language: Haskell2010
Then run cabal repl src/MyLib.hs --keep-temp-files:
Warning: this is a debug build of cabal-install with assertions enabled.

In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):

Expected behavior
The error message unrecognized 'repl' option --keep-temp-files'` should be printed to stderr, imo.
