CDC-NCM: add support for Apple's private interface

Browse source

Available on iOS/iPadOS >= 17, where this new interface is used by
developer tools using the new RemoteXPC protocol.

This private interface lacks a status endpoint, presumably because there
isn't a physical cable that can be unplugged, nor any speed changes to
be notified about.

Note that NCM interfaces are not exposed until a mode switch is
requested, which macOS does automatically.

The mode switch can be performed like this:

        uint8_t status;
        libusb_control_transfer(device_handle,
                LIBUSB_RECIPIENT_DEVICE | LIBUSB_REQUEST_TYPE_VENDOR |
                LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_IN,
                82, /* bRequest */
                0,  /* wValue   */
                3,  /* wIndex   */
                &status,
                sizeof(status),
                0);

Newer versions of usbmuxd do this automatically.
