packages: libusb: add package 'fxload' (from libusb examples)
The 'fxload' tool contained in the examples provided with libusb is actually useful and turns out to be the only way to load firmware into some rather ancient EZ-USB microcontrollers made by Cypress (formerly Anchor Chips). The original 'fxload' tool from hotplug-linux has been abandonned long ago and requires usbfs to be mounted in /proc/bus/usb/ (like it was in Linux 2.4...). Hence the best option is to package the modern 'fxload' from the libusb examples which (unsurprisingly) uses libusb and works on modern systems. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
