[Nut-upsuser] [Nut-upsdev] LibUSB-1.0+0.1 testing wanted, NUT 2.7.5 pending

[Jim Klimov]

I've made a centos7 container on the farm today and updated the docs to
reflect the nuances. The libusb* branches seem to be building ok there
(with some warnings for system headers).

Do I get it right that there is no libi2c-devel (smbus.h and userland
i2c-dev.h) in the distro?
