uefi-raw: add convenience for type IpAddress

This tightly integrates the type with the Rust standard IpAddr type.
It allows the convenient usage in `uefi` in a later commit.

 - Added `UsbIoProtocol`.
 - Added `Usb2HostControllerProtocol`.
 - Added  `DevicePathProtocol::length()` properly constructing the `u16` value
+- Type `IpAddress` is now tightly integrated with `core::net::IpAddr`, e.g.,
+  various `From` implementations are available.
 
 ## Changed
 - **Breaking:** Types `Ipv4Address` and `Ipv6Address` have been removed. They
