[Bug-cpio] cpio -ivv

`-v, --verbose'
     List the files processed, or with `-t', give an `ls -l' style
     table of contents listing.

Yes, but it would be nice to be able to get an ls -l listing at the
same time as extracting, so one wouldn't need a second pass, spinning
up drives again. E.g., -idvvm could do this vs. -idvm

And say where -v output goes, stderr or stdout, -t too.

And --no-absolute-filenames seems to turn off error reporting without
increasing file extraction:
