Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
The maximum sample size that can be set on a device is now published
by sr_config_list(SR_CONF_LIMIT_SAMPLES). This returns a tuple of
uint64_t representing minimum and maximum number of samples.
The per-driver API calls no longer have a hw_ prefix (e.g. hw_init()
became init() and so on), so drop the 'hw_' from the std versions
for those API callbacks too.
This is a small helper function which sends the SR_DF_HEADER packet that
drivers usually emit in their hw_dev_acquisition_start() API callback.
It simplifies and shortens the hw_dev_acquisition_start() functions
quite a bit.
It also simplifies the input modules which send an SR_DF_HEADER packet, too.
This patch also automatically removes some unneeded malloc/free in some
drivers for the 'packet' and 'header' structs used for SR_DF_HEADER.
Check the relevant arguments for != NULL before calling the actual
driver-specific function, so that the driver can safely assume those
arguments are non-NULL. This removes the need to duplicate these
checks in every driver.

Also, do some minor whitespace and consistency improvements.
Sending an SR_DF_META packet at the start of every stream is not
mandatory; the frontend should ask for what it needs, and any extra
information the driver wants to send will come in due time.
Hardware scanning creates an ftdi_context before attempting to locate devices
based on PID/VID. If no devices are detected, execution jumps to cleanup. The
context is freed with free(), instead of ftdi_free().
We cannot assume that the libftdi context is stored in a contiguous memory
region, and thus cannot use a simple free. Case in point, this situation is
identified by valgrind as a "definitely lost" memory leak.
Use ftdi_free() instead of a simple free() in hw_scan(). Valgrind no longer
complains about a memory leak in this area.
clear_instances() does not need any modification, as it correctly uses
ftdi_free().

In the case of USB drivers, a driver's dev_acquisition_stop() cannot
simply remove its fd sources from the session and close its devices:
a USB transfer might still be underway, and it needs to be finished
(and its memory freed) properly.
An sr_dev_inst->status value is added: SR_ST_STOPPING, which should
be set when the driver's dev_acquisition_stop() is called, and acts
as a marker for the USB event handler to wind up its operations.
In order for dev_acquisition_stop() to be able to set the sdi status,
however, it needs to be unconstified.
These are used to list the device instances currently known to the driver,
and clear that list.
Drivers that don't necessarily clear their list of instances on every scan,
such as genericdmm, need to provide these to the frontend to keep instance
management sane.
Since probes now live in a struct sr_dev_inst owned by the driver, it
already knows about them. Instead of a frontend telling the driver to
configure probes, all driver now do this just before starting acquisition.
