Description

When running some rbt commands outside of a repository (such as
rbt api-get or rbt patch --print) and using the TREES
configuration to define the server URL, rbtools would exit with a
message about being unable to find a repository. This was a regression
caused by the previous fix in 5.2 to allow these commands to use TREES.

This fix plumbs through the tool_required flag to
scan_usable_client, making it so we don't exit if we don't find a tool
at all.

Testing Done


Ran unit tests.
Was able to successfully use rbt patch --print, rbt patch --write,

  and rbt api-get outside of any source tree when using TREES to

  define the server URL.
Verified that TREES still worked as expected.
