ftdi-la: work around missing USB strings during device probe

Some FTDI chip based products ship with EEPROM content which makes
libftdi fail to lookup the USB strings, which breaks the scan for the
device's presence. The previous implementation was strict and only
accepted the absence of a serial number. This implementation also copes
when vendor and model cannot be gathered from the device, and provides
fallback values based on VID:PID numbers.

Also factor out a magic number for string lengths. Stick with dynamic
allocation since 3x 32bytes would be rather huge a local stack use, and
future maintenance might bump that string length again.

[ gsi: magic number in one spot, bounded string assignment, style nits ]
