Caller.describe fails with RemoteOmnisci when there is no connection

[tupui]

The following fails if there is no connection to a DB.

If should fail back to, say, local CPU target, or something sensible that reminds the expected output of describe (which would be a LLVM IR string and a note/warning that it may not correspond to the actual result when the target info cannot be retrieved from the server).

from rbc.omniscidb import RemoteOmnisci

omni = RemoteOmnisci()
def farenheight2celcius(f):
    return (f - 32)* 5 / 9

caller = omni('double(double)')(farenheight2celcius)
caller.describe()
