STM32_Programmer_CLI fails to list UARTs if no STLink present

[DAlbe.3]

STM32_Programmer_CLI fails to list UARTs unless an STLinkV2 is also connected to a USB port (not even to any target).  If an STLink is connected, the UARTs are then listed!  Disconnect the STLinkV2 and the UARTs fail to list.  So the issue appears to be a bug in 2.16.  Note: I have tried with both -l and -l uart

Separate issue: none of my STLinkV3s enumerate in the STLink Probes list. You can see an MINIE in the UART list below at COM14. I suspect I need to update the driver, but the driver download link on the ST site is currently broken.  <sigh>.
