usb-device-manager: Windows: identify devices by vid:pid instead of bus.address
rhbz#842816 Sometimes bus.address of a USB device changes upon WinUSB driver installation for that device. This makes bus.address not a good identifier to use when running on Windows machines. Instead this patch makes usb-device-manager, when running on a Windows client, identify devices by their vid:pid. What changes were made in this patch (in addition to previous patches): - vid:pid are asked from the udev. - match functions that compare vid:pid were added - when comparing devices vid:pid are used. This also means that a scenario where two USB devices with the same vid:pid on a Windows client is not supported. However there was a problem with this scenario before as on Windows drivers for (specific) USB devices are installed based on their vid:pid.
