You can safely read or write non-atomic integers on multiple threads,
as long as every thread reading or writing it holds the same mutex
while doing so (here, s_mutex).
Removing the atomic accesses makes the code faster, but the actual
performance difference is probably negligible.
If libusb fails to initialize, an assertion fails, but if that happens before the main window is created, then Dolphin just dies. Now, the panic alert is properly shown and the user can ignore it.

kernel.
Unfortunately, it appears that using libusb's synchronous transfer API
from several threads causes nasty race conditions in event handling and
can lead to deadlocks, despite the fact that libusb's synchronous API
is documented to be perfectly fine to use from several threads (only
the manual polling functionality is supposed to require special
precautions).
Since usbdk was the only real reason for using a single libusb context
and since usbdk (currently) has so many issues with Dolphin, I think
dropping support for it in order to fix other backends is acceptable.
Avoids dragging in IniFile, EXI device and SI device headers in this header which is
quite widely used throughout the codebase.
This also uncovered a few cases where indirect inclusions were being
relied upon, which this also fixes.
If opening the adapter fails, report the libusb error message in the GUI
instead of “No Adapter Detected”.
The error condition is removed when the adapter is unplugged.
* Simplifies libusb context usage and allows us to set options for
all contexts easily. Notably, this lets us enable usbdk support
in libusb, which is now opt-in in the latest version.
* Moves the libusb config descriptor wrapper class to LibusbUtils too
since that could easily be reused.
* Moves device listing to LibusbUtils too and add a lock around it
as some libusb backends are not thread safe.
* Consequences: only a single context and a single event handling
thread is used now, which is more efficient.
