Add regression tests for CLI error output (#1566)

## Changes
Add regression tests for https://github.com/databricks/cli/issues/1563

We test 2 code paths:
- if there is an error, we can print to stderr
- if there is a valid output, we can print to stdout

We should also consider adding black-box tests that will run the CLI
binary as a black box and inspect its output to stderr/stdout.

## Tests
