Migration to hidraw as a default backend for pip package
As of #162 hidraw backend on Linux is the default one built by the setup.py. Changing the default for all upstream/pip users would probably break a lot of applications/projects due to differences between libusb and hidraw backends.
Need to comeup with the migration plan for all users.
I think one of the easiet ways is to switch to hidraw as a default when HIDAPI bumps its version to 1.0. But we could also consider some alternatives.
Updated wheels action in https://github.com/trezor/cython-hidapi/commit/690824080c360c60276e4da0f873bd3df223a502 to use libusb so we don't accidentally release wheels with hidraw.
so it seems the default backend has been changed in 1fceee664338946cd4a998b9152e60a3d936cdb5. I'm not really happy doing this without a major version bump. this kind of breaks the api!
@prusnak is there a may to continue to use the libusb backend?

Yes, build from source and set env variable HIDAPI_WITH_LIBUSB to 1
maybe then the install section in the readme should also be changed to reflex this...
it would also be nice to mention the backend change in the readme...
