_observability: guard against uninitialized portage.settings

emerge --status is handled before portage.settings is set up;
missing_feature_hint() crashed with AttributeError when it tried to read
portage.settings.features.  Fall back to an empty frozenset so the hint
fires correctly instead.

Fixes: 7a89160a0 ("emerge: tell the user when --status has nothing to report")
