🐛 Redirect stdout to devnull during precompilation (#231)

Calling `redirect_stdout` without any arguments redirects the output to
a newly created `Pipe`[^1] (which is mostly a wrapper around standard
*nix pipes). Not reading data from this `Pipe` can result in
precompilation to hang, e.g. in CI environments such as GitHub Actions
or as reported here[^2].

This is due to a fundamental expectation that a (*nix) kernel has on
pipes, as documented[^3] "write will block until sufficient data has
been read from the pipe to allow the write to complete". For this reason
never reading from `new_stdout` may cause the precompilation to hang.
Explicitly redirecting to `devnull` circumvents this expectation and
ensures precompilation succeeds.
