parallel: Make CLK probe optional.

When no CLK probe is supplied to this PD, handle any transition on
any of the supplied data probes as if there had been a CLK transition.

(based on a suggestion/patch by "bmx" from the #sigrok channel, thanks!)

 It is required to use the lowest data probes, and use consecutive ones.
 For example, for a 4-bit sync parallel bus, probes D0/D1/D2/D3 (and CLK)
