Add a beginner-friendly way to determine the right interface for your device

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Often (a few times a month?) new users are asking whether their spoecific device is supported by this library and which one they should use.

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe, we should add some specific supported devices to the interface documentation pages each? The perfect solution would be a script that finds the correct one, but that is probably tricky to implement. Although, there is the can.detect_available_configs that probably no one knows of and is not implemented everywhere.

Describe alternatives you've considered None so far.

Additional context I know that there isn't too much development going on right now but I think this issue is still worth tracking. Such a guide or improved documentation is also not going to stop these issues completely, I know.
