USB: add support for Dream Cheeky DL100B Webmail Notifier (1d34:0004)

So far the USBLED driver only supports Delcom's "USB Visual Signal
Indicator" (http://www.delcomproducts.com/products_USBLMP.asp). The
driver generates virtual files "red", "green", and "blue" under the
device's /sys/ directory, where color values can be read from and
written to.

This patch adds support for Dream Cheeky's "DL100B Webmail Notifier"
(http://www.dreamcheeky.com/webmail-notifier -- available from several
shops, such as http://www.conrad.at/ce/de/product/777048/USB-WEBMAIL

).
This device isn't as pretty as Delcom's, but it's *far* cheaper, and
its 3 LEDs can be set in 32 brightness steps each. The grey envelope
contour can easily be removed, leaving a rather neutral white box (with
a few small holes), which is useful for generic signalling purposes.
Of course, the small circuit board can easily be put into a prettier
case.

The DL100B device pretends to be a HID, but the HID descriptor shows
that it's not overly useful as such (see below). The patch therefore
removes the "HID-ness" (hid-core.c, hid-ids.h), and adds the necessary
commands to usbled.c. The protocol info comes from the developer's
manual that Dream Cheeky kindly provided (815DeveloperManual.pdf).

HID descriptor:
