New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features.

Browse source 
Bugs:
1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order,
which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed
by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any
clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully
refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full
bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1.
Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have
attached to that port.
2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change
$_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never
noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch!

Fixes:
1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected.
2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'.
For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider
many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always
"Vendor defined class".
3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like
TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now
avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs
3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which
is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray
of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only
have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS
to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the
/sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have
lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data.
4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed
that logic so now it rarely will do that.

Enhancements:
1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile
window manager (no version info).
2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base;
3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct.
4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors.
5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines.
This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/
product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response
to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers.
Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative,
is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the
new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option.
 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures
 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd.
 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present.
 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers.
 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now,
 much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them.
 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate
 than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack.
 As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not
 just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more
 verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is
 created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out
 what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type
 is generated.
 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device
 interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter
 is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces,
 since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.).
 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful
 if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant
 speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex
 USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc.
 New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use.
 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb.
 Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This
 can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi.
 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal
 sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like:
 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id.
6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore!
7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager.

Changes:
1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been
replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'.  This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint
in issue #156
This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they
are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are
some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with
the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology
out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10.

Removed:
See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks.
1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux
and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete
the lsusb vendor/product strings.
2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data,
that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those
features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

Output Examples:
