These two fixes ensure the new "CDC Composite Device" gadget
fails cleanly when it's loaded on hardware that can't support
this particular gadget driver.

This abstracts the "gadget serial" driver TTY glue into a separate
component, cleaning it up and disentangling it from connection state.
It also changed some behaviors for the better:
- Stops using "experimental" major #127, and switches over to
having the TTY layer allocate the dev_t numbers.
- Provides /sys/class/tty/ttyGS* nodes, thus mdev/udev support.
(Note "mdev" hotplug bug in Busybox v1.7.2: /dev/ttyGS0 will
be a *block* device without CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2.)
- The tty nodes no longer reject opens when there's no host.
Now they can support normal getty configs in /etc/inttab...
- Now implements RX throttling. When the line discipline says
it doesn't want any more data, only packets in flight will be
delivered (currently, max 1K/8K at full/high speeds) until it
unthrottles the data.
- Supports low_latency. This is a good policy for all USB serial
adapters, since it eliminates scheduler overhead on RX paths.
This also includes much cleanup including better comments, fixing
memory leaks and other bugs (including some locking fixes), messaging
cleanup, and an interface audit and tightening. This added up to a
significant object code shrinkage, on the order of 20% (!) depending
on CPU and compiler.
A separate patch actually kicks in this new code, using the functions
declared in this new header, and removes the previous glue.
