fix(emacs): assess if there are open frames of the expected type

This change looks at the frame type of the open frames ('framep) and
looks if they're of the type requested based on the arguments passed
to emacsclient (-nw/-t/--tty require tty frames, otherwise we need
graphical frames).

NOTE: this code considers anything different than t as graphical
terminals, including MS-DOS types (pc). I don't have such a setup
to test if this is correct.
