USB: add quirk to avoid config and interface strings
Apparently the Configuration and Interface strings aren't used as often as the Vendor, Product, and Serial strings. In at least one device (a Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D joystick), attempts to read the Configuration string cause the device to stop responding to Control requests. This patch (as1226) adds a quirks flag, telling the kernel not to read a device's Configuration or Interface strings, together with a new quirk for the offending joystick.
