Use upstream version of hidapi and libusb

[prusnak]

It seems that both libusb and hidapi are now properly maintained and actively developed in the libusb organization:

• https://github.com/libusb/hidapi
• https://github.com/libusb/libusb

It might make sense to drop the local copies of these projects and use upstream repositories as submodules.

What do you think?

Or at least get the latest from the upstream? There have been many updates. For example, hid_error is not implemented here while upstream has it: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/blob/87416973/linux/hid.c#L1118-L1130

@karalabe Could you please respond? We really need the upstream update to fix some issues our users are facing.

If you are short on time, we will gladly help co-maintain of this package and bring it up to date (either @x1ddos or myself). Please let us now. Thanks 🙏

due to lack of reply by @karalabe: @benma, @x1ddos - what did you end up doing? is there a fork with updated deps?
