    of an UPS interface on a composite USB device or when looking at devices

+ - USB drivers should now accept a `LIBUSB_DEBUG=INTEGER` setting in `ups.conf`
+   (as well as an environment variable that can be generally set via `nut.conf`
+   or service unit methods or init script), to enable troubleshooting of LibUSB

  - Introduced a new driver concept for interaction with OS-reported hardware
    monitoring readings. Currently instantiated as `hwmon_ina219` specifically
    made for Texas Instruments INA219 chip as exposed in the Linux "hwmon"

 Run-time troubleshooting of USB-capable NUT drivers can involve not only
 raising the common NUT debug verbosity (e.g. using the `DEBUG_MIN` setting
 in linkman:ups.conf[5] or protocol commands to change the `driver.debug`
 value), but may also benefit from LibUSB specific debugging.
