bug: ice9-bluetooth doesn't actually allow a value of 4 for -C

Per the help, -C should take a value >= 4:

./ice9-bluetooth --help                                                
Usage: ice9-bluetooth <-f <file.fc32> | -l> <-a | -c <center-freq> -C <chan>>
Captures Bluetooth packets using a HackRF, bladeRF, or USRP SDR.

Mandatory arguments:
    -f, --file=FILE         read input from fc32 file (cfile)
    -l, --capture           capture live (cannot combine with -f)

    -a, --all-channels      all-channel sniffing (requires bladeRF 2.0)
            or
    -c, --center-freq=FREQ  center frequency (in MHz)
    -C, --channels=CHAN     number of channels to capture (>= 4, divisible by 4)
snip

This is also indicated when choosing a value not divisible by 4:

./ice9-bluetooth -l -i bladerf0 -w channel_39_only.pcap -s -c 2480 -C 1
ice9-bluetooth: invalid channels, must be between 4 and 96 and divisible by

However, in practice, it does not accept the value of 4, and the lowest value possible is therefore 8.

Perhaps update to the latest version of ice9 and libbladeRF. I confirmed your command of sudo ./ice9-bluetooth -l -i bladerf0 -w channel_39_only.pcap -s -c 2480 -C 4 works for me in the latest (since I used -C 4 in #24 debugging)
