If no down-channel can be found, the target only supports printing RTT messages.
Before this commit, this target-configuration was only possible to do when supplying a log file.
Then commands were ignored and only the up-channel was written to the file.
If no log-file was supplied, we detected the missing down-channels and returned an error, never starting the viewer_loop so no up-channel messages were printed on stdout.
With this commit,
instead of returning an error when no down-channels are configured, we inform the user and start the viewer_loop
with a down-channel (parameter down_chan) with value 'None'.
Inside the viewer_loop we detect the None-value of down_chan, drop the user supplied command and continue our viewer_loop.
