main: downgrade "no zephyr" to wrn(), add workaround

We're getting increasing interest in west being its own tool, to be
used standalone from Zephyr. Unfortunately we are still too tightly
coupled for that to be possible, but the current behavior of erroring
out is not correct. Let's downgrade that to a warning and have the
warning print the current workaround.
