Incomplete docs of libusb_get_device_list

Description

As explained in the mailinglist ​thread the ​documentation of libusb_get_device_list is incomplete.

The documentation states that it either returns the number of devices in the list or LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_MEM. However libusb_get_device_list() in core will currently pass any error code it receives from the backend up to the caller.

I think the documentation should document this properly.
