ALSA: usb-audio: Register card at the last interface

The USB-audio driver matches per interface, and as default, it
registers the card instance at the very first instance.  This can be a
problem for the devices that have multiple interfaces to be probed, as
the udev rule isn't applied properly for the later appearing
interfaces.  Although we introduced the delayed_register option and
the quirks for covering those shortcomings, it's nothing but a
workaround for specific devices.

This patch is an another attempt to fix the problem in a more generic
way.  Now the driver checks the whole USB device descriptor at the
very first time when an interface is attached to a sound card.  It
looks at each matching interface in the descriptor and remembers the
last matching one.  The snd_card_register() is invoked only when this
last interface is probed.

After this change, the quirks for the delayed registration become
superfluous, hence they are removed along with the patch.  OTOH, the
delayed_register option is still kept, as it might be useful for some
corner cases (e.g. a special driver overtakes the interface probe from
the standard driver, and the last interface probe may miss).
