iio: tools: generic_buffer: auto-enable channels

If no channels are enabled when we run generic_buffer on a
device, add a command-line option to just enable all of them,
run the sampling and disable them all again afterwards.

This is extremely useful when I'm low-level testing my
sensors with interrupts and triggers, sample session:

root@Ux500:/ lsiio
Device 000: lsm303dlh_accel
Device 001: lis331dl_accel
Device 002: l3g4200d
Device 003: lsm303dlh_magn
Device 004: lps001wp
Trigger 000: lsm303dlh_accel-trigger
Trigger 001: lis331dl_accel-trigger
Trigger 002: l3g4200d-trigger

root@Ux500:/ generic_buffer -a -c 10 -n l3g4200d
iio device number being used is 2

Pure awesomeness. If some channels have been enabled through
scripts or manual interaction, nothing happens.
