Handle inappropriate null output from arduino-cli core list when …

…no platforms are installed

A regression was introduced in the 1.0.0 release of Arduino CLI. When no platforms are installed, `arduino-cli core list
--format json` now returns `null` instead of the appropriate value of an empty array.

Previously the code for parsing the output was written under the assumption of the logical behavior of the command
always outputting an array, even if an empty array. This code could not correctly handle the output produced by Arduino
CLI >=1.0.0, resulting in a spurious failure of the action:

```

    for installed_platform in installed_platform_list:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
```

In order to work around the Arduino CLI bug, code is added to handle the case where the value is `null` (`None` when
converted to a Python data type) instead of an array.
