Bluetooth: btusb: Add a Kconfig option to enable USB autosuspend by default
On many laptops the btusb device is the only USB device not having USB autosuspend enabled, this causes not only the HCI but also the USB controller to stay awake, together using aprox. 0.4W of power. Modern ultrabooks idle around 6W (at 50% screen brightness), 3.5W for Apollo Lake devices. 0.4W is a significant chunk of this (7 / 11%). The btusb driver already contains code to allow enabling USB autosuspend, but currently leaves it up to the user / userspace to enable it. This means that for most people it will not be enabled, leading to an unnecessarily high power consumption. Since enabling it is not entirely without risk of regressions, this commit adds a Kconfig option so that Linux distributions can choose to enable it by default. This commit also adds a module option so that when distros receive bugs they can easily ask the user to disable it again for easy debugging.
