fxload upstream seems to have stalled [0].

I think the best maintained version of fxload these days is in the
libusb examples [1,2].

For flashing the Opsis [3] boards, which the DebConf Video team uses, we
need to use a libusb version of fxload.

Currently we're using a patchset [4] that I don't see landing in a dead
upstream, any time soon :(

So, the best path forward is probably libusb's fxload, in examples. Can
we take over the fxload package with it?
