qemu-doc: Update to use the new way of attaching USB devices
The preferred way of adding USB devices is via "-device" and "device_add" nowadays, so let's start to get rid of "-usbdevice" and "usb_add" in the documentation. While we're at it, also add the new USB devices there which have been added to QEMU during the last years, and get rid of the old "vendorid" and "productid" parameters of "-usbdevice serial" which have been removed in QEMU version 0.14.0 already.
