[Nut-upsdev] Driver fix for Ippon BCP800 (06da/0003), blazer_usb.c

There are two solutions in the driver:

1) Use the automatically detected 'phoenix' subdriver that flushes the  
input before sending a command (similar to the patch submitted and  
also similar to the megatec_usb driver). Bad side effect is the  
mandatory wait for the input to timeout, so I'm not to thrilled about  
that.

2) Use the 'ippon' subdriver (configured in 'ups.conf') that reads in  
one big 64-byte chunk, which seems to be a better match for this  
specific USB to serial controller (see recent activity on the upsdev  
mailinglist).

It already is (and you even ported the man page to the Ascii doc branch).
