It is possible that the usb_loc is dynamic and changes each time the machine boot. As a result, there is no way to understand which physical usb device is related to which usb_loc. Hence introducing usb_path glob pattern such that user can always query the correct device and run necessary sub command despite the dynamic behavior. This change introduces a new command-line option `--usb_path` to htool, allowing users to select a specific USB device by providing a glob pattern that matches its real sysfs path. A new function, libhoth_get_usb_sys_path, is added to libhoth_usb to retrieve the canonical sysfs path for a given libusb_device. The device selection logic in htool_usb.c is updated to use this new path-based filtering. Also the change introduces new column in `htool usb list` showing the real path.
