usbcore: make usb_generic a usb_device_driver


This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable
of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers.  A fair amount of
the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB
device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of
usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial
configuration.  However the normal behavior should continue to be the
same as before.

We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers,
They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems
(USB-over-TCPIP) or to paravirtual guest operating systems.
