usb gadget: new "CDC Composite" gadget driver

This is a simple example of a composite gadget, combining two
Communications Class Device (CDC) functions:  ECM and ACM.

This provides a clear example of how the composite gadget framework
is intended to work.  It's surprising that MS-Windows (or at least,
XP and previous) won't "just work" with something this simple...

One /proc/bus/usb/devices listing looks like:

Not all USB peripheral controller hardware can support this driver.
All the highspeed-capable peripheral controllers with drivers now in
the mainline kernel seem to support this, as does omap_udc.  But
many full speed controllers don't have enough endpoints, or (as with
the PXA controllers) don't support altsettings.

Lightly tested.

+	help
+	  This driver provides two functions in one configuration:
+	  a CDC Ethernet (ECM) link, and a CDC ACM (serial port) link.
+
+	  This driver requires four bulk and two interrupt endpoints,
+	  plus the ability to handle altsettings.  Not all peripheral
+	  controllers are that capable.
+
+	  Say "y" to link the driver statically, or "m" to build a
+	  dynamically linked module.
