[usb] bus manager should contain usb ids

Description

Currently listusb doesn't show Manufacturer String/Product String/Serial Number/etc for some devices which doesn't provide this information. It would be handy to take this info from usb ids database, similar to pci ids.

Two usb ids database are available and both have a correct license.

NetBSD: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs

LinuxUSB: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids

The second includes a list of HID strings.

Best would be to include pci.ids and usb.ids as is in /system/data and have apps and bus managers use it. Otherwise each component gets it own copy and increase in size. Keep in mind though that some drivers are using the generated header usbdevs.h to reference their devices ids.

Added strings display in verbose mode in hrev43749 using usb.ids. Please review this and give me feedback.

Sorry for delay. I can see strings in verbose mode now. Could you enable it in non-verbose mode too? It seems that I can't see any usb devices in Devices app, though.

Did so in hrev43861. USB devices are still old driver style.
