ALSA: usb-audio: parse clock topology of UAC2 devices

Browse source 
Audio devices which comply to the UAC2 standard can export complex clock
topologies in its descriptors and set up links between them.

The entities that are defined are

 - clock sources, which define the end-leafs.
 - clock selectors, which act as switch to select one out of many
   possible clocks sources.
 - clock multipliers, which have an input clock source, and act as clock
   source again. They can be used to derive one clock from another.

All sample rate changes, clock validity queries and the like must go to
clock source elements, while clock selectors and multipliers can be used
as terminal clock source.

The following patch adds a parser for these elements and functions to
iterate over the tree and find the leaf nodes (clock sources).

The samplerate set functions were moved to the new clock.c file.
