Make the class ID a property of the USB driver (rather than a property
of the USB device ID), and allow USB drivers to specify a wildcard ID
for any of the three component IDs (class, subclass, or protocol).

[usb] Select preferred USB device configuration based on driver score
Generate a score for each possible USB device configuration based on
the available driver support, and select the configuration with the
highest score. This will allow us to prefer ECM over RNDIS (for
devices which support both) and will allow us to meaningfully select a
configuration even when we have drivers available for all functions
(e.g. when exposing unused functions via EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL).

The decision on whether or not a zero-length packet needs to be
transmitted is independent of the host controller and belongs in the
USB core.

[efi] Add a USB host controller driver based on EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL
Allow iPXE to coexist with other USB device drivers, by attaching to
the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instances provided by the UEFI platform
firmware.
The EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is an unsurprisingly badly designed
abstraction of a USB device. The poor design choices intrinsic in the
UEFI specification prevent efficient operation as a network device,
with the result that devices operated using the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL
operate approximately two orders of magnitude slower than devices
operated using our native EHCI or xHCI host controller drivers.
Since the performance is so abysmally slow, and since the underlying
problems are due to fundamental architectural mistakes in the UEFI
specification, support for the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL host controller
driver is left as disabled by default. Users are advised to use the
native iPXE host controller drivers instead.
