Non-input USB HID devices stopped working in 9.1.

Wine 9.0 + LoggerPro 3.16.2 + USB HID thermometer (08f7:0002 Vernier
EasyTemp/Go!Temp): LoggerPro detects the device and starts collecting
temperature measurements automatically.

Wine 9.1 + LoggerPro 3.16.2 + USB HID thermometer (08f7:0002 Vernier
EasyTemp/Go!Temp):
LoggerPro does not detect the device.

Host system detects the device and assigns hid-generic driver to it and a
hidraw device is created. The device is not an input device and hence input
subsystem is not used for this device (event devices are not created).

My understanding is that commit 814d2c176d23c581353ba5679977415d2218d0c5 causes
the regression, because it changes the policy to not use hidraw by default and
requires devices to be explicitly listed in EnableHidraw bus option to be used
by hidraw backend.

Further changes to winebus.sys have been made to allow hidraw to be used in
certain scenarios (some gamepads and when evdev and SDL is disabled), but these
do not cover the case when non-input HID device is used in default environment.

This bug still exists in 9.4.

I am working on a patch set which fixes the bug. I'll create a merge request.
