This enables support for devices that have a different VID/PID
than the Saleae Logic, and yet another after firmware upload.
After firmware upload is checked every 100ms whether it came back,
instead of always waiting for 2 seconds.
If the kernel attaches a driver to a device we know, detact it first.
This is useful to allow frontends to react upon close failures in a
way they see fit (e.g. a popup in the GUI, or error message in the CLI).
They can also still ignore the error if they want, of course.
The g_malloc()/g_malloc0() versions exit/segfault if not enough memory
is available, which is not a good thing in libsigrok.
Instead, we use the g_try_malloc()/g_try_malloc0() variants, which
return NULL if not enough memory is available, so that the caller can
handle the error properly.
We should use these (internal) functions in libsigrok exclusively from
now on, i.e. no more use of glib's g_debug() etc.
These functions are only for libsigrok, the frontends use whatever
logging mechanism is suitable there.
Until now the build would break if the user doesn't enable at least one
of the libusb1.0-based LAs. I.e., you could not compile only OLS, or
only the demo driver.
Use libtool "noinst" local helper libs and use one Makefile.am per
subdir, which is the usual/preferred method. These helper libraries are
purely local and will not be installed.
This also fixes out-of-tree builds of sigrok, i.e. building in a
directory other than the sigrok source directory, e.g.
$ cd /home/user
$ git clone ...sigrok
$ cd sigrok
$ ./autogen.sh
$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ cd /tmp/foo
$ /home/user/sigrok/configure
$ make
$ make install
This will place all build results (.o files, .la files, etc) in the
local build directory (/tmp/foo) instead of the source directory
(/home/user/sigrok in this example). The installation directory is
selected via the --prefix configure option (/usr/local per default).
