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.

+Description:
+ If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
+ is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
+ that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
+ state. This file is read-only.
+
+ Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
+ compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
+ For example,
+ echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
+ will give an integer percentage. Note that this does not
+ account for counter wrap.
