When no chat DM pairing channels are configured, `openclaw pairing list`
(no channel argument) threw `Channel required ... (expected one of: )`
with an empty enum that reads like a bug. Users who hit this are usually
trying to approve a TUI/device or scope-upgrade request, which lives under
`openclaw devices`, not `openclaw pairing` (which only handles chat DM
pairing).
- Guard the channel hint in help text and errors so an empty channel list
no longer renders a bare `()` / `(expected one of: )`.
- When no pairing channels exist, redirect to `openclaw devices list` /
`openclaw devices approve` instead of failing opaquely.
