Implemented reading ContainerID from BOS descriptor to detect USB2/3 dual devices

Per USB 3.0 spec, chapter 11.2: > Within a USB 3.0 hub, both the SuperSpeed and USB 2.0 hub devices shall implement in the hub framework > a common standardized ContainerID to enable software to identify the physical relationship of the hub devices. > The ContainerID descriptor is a part of the BOS descriptor set. * Read ContainerID from BOS descriptor. * get_device_description() now returns struct with vendor, product, serial number as well as full description. * Use ContainerID to improve finding dual hubs. This seems to work very well on any OS. However, this may still fail if two or more identical hubs use the same hardcoded ContainerID In this case, we still try to look for other clues like serial number match if possible. This fixes issue #161.
