Previously the interface would never be set on Mac.
This presents a big pain because retrieving interface numbers can be the
only way to distinguish between the interfaces returned by HIDAPI.
This change makes it possible to retrieve interface number from an
hid_device_info on Mac for USB HID devices only.
It is unclear if the macOS IOKit library returns valid interface numbers
for non-HID USB devices. Because of this, I have opted to simply skip
that case - leave it initialised to `-1`.
In the future, we can easily relax this restriction if it turns out
IOKit correctly returns interface number with non-HID USB devices. For
now, this commit brings 90% of the value at 5% of the risk.
Passing product_id=0 will match any product of a given vendor. This patch
makes it also possible to use vendor_id=0 to match any vendor for a given
product id.
Windows code added to Ludovic's patch by Alan Ott.
Although the Windows API doesn't provide direct access to interface number,
on child devices representing the interfaces of a composite device, it is
parsable from the device path. An excerpt of a path for interface 1 of a
Razer Hydra device is as follows:
\?\hid#vid_1532&pid_0300&mi_01
See table 4 and related text here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487473
This patch, if a path is available, and further, if &mi_ is found, parses
what it can for a hex value into the interface_number field. If there is
any problem, the invalid value (-1) is used instead.
Patch from Ryan Pavlik <abiryan@ryand.net> with modifications by Alan Ott.
hid_read_timeout() will execute a blocking read up until a timeout has been
reached or data has been received.
This patch implements it on all platforms and comes from Urs Fleisch.

The interface number is added to the hid_device_info struct. Since the
Linux/libusb implementation can't put the Usage and Usage Page in the
hid_device_info struct because it requires detaching the kernel driver, the
interface number is added instead so that users with composite HID devices
can differentiate between the interfaces on the device.
Documented the hidapi.h header.
Fixed hid_get_error() wchar_t bug.
Fixed invalid handle error in hid_open()
Updated example to show non-blocking operation.
