Under Mac OS X if the command ./packetbeat -devices is run, no devices are listed. To make it working sudo ./packetbeat -devices is required.

First the documentation should be updated to have sudo as part of the documented command. Second if somehow possible an error message should be shown in case sudo is not used and no devices are returned.

Print "No devices found" when -devices is empty

Also add a "use sudo" suggestion on darwin/linux. This makes it
less confusing when you forget to run packetbeat -devices as a non-root
user.

Closes elastic#296.
