iio_info: warn when iio_channel_get_type = IIO_CHAN_TYPE_UNKNOWN

A few issues (analogdevicesinc#366, analogdevicesinc#373) have popped up recently when iio_channel_get_type(ch) == IIO_CHAN_TYPE_UNKNOWN This helps bring that to the top by easily notifing kernel developers when they are doing things that aren't understood by the library.
