USB: Add documentation for USB suspend statistics.
This documents two newly created files:
/sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration
/sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration
Documentation was placed in Documentation/ABI/testing, since that's where the
documentation is for the other USB sysfs power files.
