The Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) defines a standard
for syntax and commands to use in controlling programmable test and measurement
devices.

This patch adds helper functions for sending SCPI commands, reading a SCPI
response and reading and parsing a SCPI "*IDN?" response.
Disable drivers that need serial port support if libserialport is not found.
Also, disable building various other serial port related code in that case.
- If libusb-1.0 is not found, do not compile in ezusb.c and usb.c since
they require libusb.h. The respective hardware drivers that use
libusb-1.0, and usb.c and/or ezusb.c will be excluded from the build
elsewhere in configure.ac. Rename NEED_EZUSB to NEED_USB.
- Drop the NEED_SERIAL check and always compile in serial.c. This is a
very small chunk of code, it does not depend on any external
libraries that might be missing, and it compiles on all architectures.
Thus there's no need to conditionally include or exclude it.
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.
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.
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).
