Replace the USB session API by one that provides a devices ROM only, which contains information about all USB devices available for this client, as well as methods to acquire and release a single device. The acquisition of an USB device returns the capability to a device session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate control transfers in between the client and the USB host controller driver. Moreover, additional methods to acquire and release an USB interface can be used. The acquisition of an USB interface returns the capability to an interface session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate either bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfers in between the client and the USB host controller driver. This commit implements the API changes in behalf of the Genode C API's USB server and client side. Addtionally, it provides Usb::Device, Usb::Interface, and Usb::Endpoint utilities that can be used by native C++ clients to use the new API and hide the sophisticated packet stream API. The adaptations necessary target the following areas: * lx_emul layer for USB host and client side * Linux USB host controller driver port for PC * Linux USB client ports: usb_hid_drv and usb_net_drv, additionally reduce the Linux tasks used inside these drivers * Native usb_block_drv * black_hole component * Port of libusb, including smartcard and usb_webcam driver depending on it * Port of Qemu XHCI model library, including vbox5 & vbox6 depending on it * Adapt all run-scripts and drivers_interactive recipes to work with the new policy rules of the USB host controller driver Fix genodelabs/genode#5021

LXIP #### LXIP is a port of the Linux TCP/IP stack to Genode. It is build as a shared library named 'lxip.lib.so'. The IP stack can be interfaced using Genode's version of 'libc' by linking your application to 'lxip_libc' plugin in your 'target.mk' file. Wifi #### The 'wifi_drv' consists of a port of the mac802.11 stack, platform-specific drivers and the 'wpa_supplicant' to Genode. lx_kit ###### The modular lx_kit seperates the required back end functionality of the Linux emulation environment from the front end. Thereby each driver can reuse specific parts or supply more suitable implementations by itself. It is used to reduce the amount of redundant code in each driver. The lx_kit is split into several layers whose structure is as follows: The first layer in _repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul_ contains those header files that provide the structural definitions and function declarations of the Linux API, e.g. _errno.h_ provides all error code values. The second layer in _repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul/impl_ contains the implementation of selected functions, e.g. _slab.h_ provides the implementation of 'kmalloc()'. The lx_kit back end API is the third layer and provides the _Lx::Malloc_ interface (_repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_kit/malloc.h_) which is used to implement 'kmalloc()'. There are several generic implementations of the lx_kit interfaces that can be used by a driver. A driver typically includes a 'lx_emul/impl/xyz.h' header once directly in its lx_emul compilation unit. The lx_kit interface files are only included in those compilation units that use or implement the interface. If a driver wants to use a generic implementation it must add the source file to its source file list. The generic implementations are located in _repos/dde_linux/src/lx_kit/_. The modular lx_kit still depends on the private _lx_emul.h_ header file that is tailored to each driver. Since the lx_kit already contains much of the declarations and definitions that were originally placed in these private header files, those files can now ommit a large amount of code.
