    packages: libusb: add package 'fxload' (from libusb examples)
    
    The 'fxload' tool contained in the examples provided with libusb is
    actually useful and turns out to be the only way to load firmware into
    some rather ancient EZ-USB microcontrollers made by Cypress (formerly
    Anchor Chips).
    The original 'fxload' tool from hotplug-linux has been abandonned long
    ago and requires usbfs to be mounted in /proc/bus/usb/ (like it was in
    Linux 2.4...).
    Hence the best option is to package the modern 'fxload' from the libusb
    examples which (unsurprisingly) uses libusb and works on modern
    systems.
