python-neo fails to load unsorted spike channels from PL2 files #1549

Describe the bug python-neo fails to load spike channels from PL2 (Plexon2) files containing only unsorted units.

To Reproduce Find a PL2 file that includes spike channels containing only unsorted units. One candidate is NC16FPSPKEVT_1m.pl2 included in the ephys_testing_data dataset. Upon loading the file using plexon2rawio, you will find that the 4 spike channels that contain spikes (SPK01, SPK05, SPK09, SPK13) are not loaded because they contain only unsorted spikes.

Expected behaviour I expect channels with unsorted spikes to be included.

Environment:

Additional context I have a potential fix and will submit it soon.
