Richard Hughes 9d3f791727 unifying: Use the new daemon-provided functionality 
Until now, the unifying plugin was a 'special snowflake' and did things in very
different ways to the other plugins. Refactor each object to derive from either
FuUsbDevice or FuUdevDevice, and then remove LuDevice and the LuContext layers.

Unifying Support

Introduction

This plugin can flash the firmware on Logitech Unifying dongles, both the Nordic (U0007) device and the Texas Instruments (U0008) version.

This plugin will not work with the different "Nano" dongle (U0010) as it does not use the Unifying protocol.

Some bootloader protocol infomation was taken from the Mousejack[1] project, specifically logitech-usb-restore.py and unifying.py. Other documentation was supplied by Logitech.

Additional constants were taken from the Solaar[2] project.

Design Notes

When a dongle is detected in bootloader mode we detach the hidraw driver from the kernel and use raw control transfers. This ensures that we don't accidentally corrupt the uploading firmware. For application firmware we use hidraw which means the hardware keeps working while probing, and also allows us to detect paired devices.
