omero.client ensure args is not None

[manics]

c = omero.client('wss://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws') should work instead of throwing an Exception

Without this PR: client = omero.client('ws://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws') or client = omero.client(host='ws://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws') will throw

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'omero_ext.path'

With this PR: client = omero.client(host='ws://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws') or client = omero.client('ws://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws') do not throw.

This used to work on early dev version so this should be included in the coming 5.6 release This prevents the usage of web socket (e.g. mybinder usage, demo scheduled 23/01)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'omero_ext.path'

I'm unsure how this would be related. For me, this suggests that something is out of sync, since this has been fixed separately.

Sorry I was not on master when I first run the command The error without the PR is

>>> client = omero.client(host='ws://idr.openmicroscopy.org/omero-ws')
