Option to use WebUSB api

[Richard-Mathie]

Feature request/ proposal

I am looking at getting this working with the WebUSB api which:

• Is available in Chrome 61 for Android, Chrome OS, Linux, macOS and Windows.
• Has a port for Node.js also exists - https://github.com/thegecko/webusb

we could there for have a cross platform ant plus driver, which would work through node or a recent enough chrome browser. We should even be able to drop back to node usb module for compatibility.

What do you think?

The idea is interesting but I don't have the time to work on it for the foreseeable future.
Feel free to submit a PR and I'll likely merge it.

I made it 👍

The main difference from the original implementation is that Buffer is changed to DataView.
