ftdi: allow selecting device by usb bus location
This patch adds a 'ftdi_location' command to select an adapter by usb
bus number and port path.
This is helpful if you have a rack full of adapters in a testing or
manufacturing setup where the only constant is the physical usb bus
location of the adapter you want to address. Vid:Pid are not unique,
serial number _may_ be unique (and maybe not with embedded adapters) but
will change when a new target is plugged.
Specifying a location allows to understand instantly which board failed
bringup or testing.
