ols driver used to probe a series of available serial ports obtained
by regexp matching of common serial port names.
There are a number of problems with this approach:
1. It will probe all serial devices, including devices that do not
like to be probed, potentially causing them to act up.
2. It will try to probe serial ports which may already be opened in
other applications for other purposes.
3. It assumes the naming of the serial ports is set in stone, and
creates an unnecessary OS-specific list.
4. It produces unnecessary debug output even when an OLS device is
not connected.
5. etc...
Do not implicitly probe serial ports. Only probe the port specified
by the frontend, if any; otherwise, just quit.
Also get rid of all functionality in serial.c which was designed
specifically for random probing.

Move sr_usb_connect() and sr_usb_open() to hardware/common/usb.c in a
slightly more generic form and add more error checks and logging.
Let genericdmm use the new/moved functions.
Merge parts of the tekpower-dmm code (the chip of the TekPower
TP4000ZC seems to be an FS9721_LP3 too) and rework parts of the functions.
Adapt the tekpower-dmm and uni-t-dmm code accordingly.
The Fortune Semiconductor FS9721_LP3 and FS9721B/Q100 DMM chips are very
similar and the protocol looks identical.
Tested on a Voltcraft VC-820 (FS9721_LP3) with the uni-t-dmm driver
(needs some small changes, tbd).
There is no point in libsigrok copying probe lists around. The driver now
builds a list of probes according to the model device it found, and will
make that available to a frontend. The frontend thus has a reference of
what the driver has, including default names, and doesn't need libsigrok
to provide an unnecessary level of abstraction.
The sr_probe_new() library-private function is a helper for drivers.
All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
