doc: usb_adapters: add container for lsusb dump of adapters

When extending an existing adapter driver, developer has to
carefully avoid to break backward compatibility.
But not all developers have access to many adapters for testing.

Prepare a folder aimed at containing 'lsusb -v' dumps of adapters
to be used as reference.
Add documentation and a simple dump script.

+
+This folder contains a collection of dumps of USB descriptors, obtained through
+Linux lsusb command, of several USB adapters supported by OpenOCD.
+This collection should help maintaining adapter drivers even if the developer
+doesn't have access to all the devices supported by the driver.
+
+To add a new file, run:
+
+       ./doc/usb_adapters/dump.sh ${vid} ${pid} \
+               > doc/usb_adapters/${driver}/${vid}_${pid}_${short_description}.txt
+
+eventually edit the file to add some extra comment, then submit the file to
+OpenOCD gerrit, as explained in HACKING.
+
+The dumps are organized in subfolders corresponding to OpenOCD drivers:
+- cmsis_dap;
+- ft232r;
+- ftdi;
+- icdi;
+- jlink;
+- kitprog;
+- nulink;
+- stlink;
+- xds110.
+
+The script above assumes the user has granted access permissions to the USB
+device file in
+       /dev/bus/usb/<n>/<m>
+This is usually the case when the device is listed in
+       contrib/60-openocd.rules
+and this udev rules file is properly installed in the host machine.
+If the user has no proper access permissions, the script has to be run as
+root or through 'sudo'.
+
+Old versions of 'lsusb -v' dump cryptic errors like:
+       can't get device qualifier: Resource temporarily unavailable
+       can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable
+when some optional descriptor is not present.
+This is fixed in usbutils v014.
+If you get such messages simply ignore them. They are printed on stderr, so
+will not be included in the generated file as the redirection '>' does only
+redirects stdout.
