Avoid having to rely on libudev, which makes this crate difficult to cross-compile. Instead, traverse `/sys` directly to discover what it is we need. Signed-off-by: Sean Cross <[email protected]>

Add an alternative to `libudev-sys` that doesn't require pkgconfig. This allows for cross-compiling to Linux without first obtaining a sysroot for the target. It also allows for compiling to musl, and statically-linking projects that use hidapi. Signed-off-by: Sean Cross <[email protected]>

Add a new feature,
linux-native-basic-udev. This is identical tolinux-nativebut usesbasic-udevas a udev source rather thanudev-rs.basic-udev is a reimplementation of just enough udev functionality to support device discovery on most common platforms without needing to link libudev.so.
As a result, it becomes possible to cross-compile crates that depend on
hidapi-rsto Linux (both GNU and Musl) without needing a full sysroot. This greatly simplifies cross-compiling to multiple target architectures, particularly when using cargo-zigbuild.
