[Nut-upsuser] Cyber power CP1500AVR required pollonly?

[Jim Klimov]

According to issues discussed over the past year or so on github, seems so
- that at least some models and/or OSes and/or chipsets have a problem with
libusb interrupt mode; more often failing during device discovery than
after some successful uptime.

I don't think there was reliable statistics to incriminate certain
situations enough to hardcode some preferences however.

Maybe it could help generally to at least log the suggestion for pollonly
(or interruptonly) when the preferred method fails. Or at best try to
change the preference on the fly if not bolted by explicit config.
Question to community: would such change (especially if also of default
behavior) be beneficial?
