Add the ability to gather power usage measurements on Android from USB power meters.

[gmierz]

This PR adds the ability to gather power from USB power meters that are supported by the usb-power-profiling module: https://github.com/fqueze/usb-power-profiling

The capability is added to both Firefox, and Chromium-based browsers. Some methods are added to the Android class to make it simpler to parse the power usage measurements, and also obtain a full "power profile" of the power usage throughout the full test. The power profile is gathered for each test-iteration/url measured.

Hi @soulgalore! What do you think about adding the usb-power-profiling module for power measurements on android using USB power meters?

We've found that this is a better approach versus the batterystats method that currently exists in the Android class. If you want, I could remove that older power testing code and make this the primary method of doing power usage testing in Browsertime. The batterystats method is also device-specific whereas this method only requires a supported USB power meter to be able to test on any Android phone.

Hi @gmierz sounds like a good idea, let me test it tomorrow!

[soulgalore]

Hmm the unit tests started to fail, do they work for you locally @gmierz ?

[gmierz]

That's an odd failure. I can reproduce it locally though so I'll look into it.

It works now! There was some code in the usb-power-profiling module that would get run on import and this caused the timeout. I've got a PR up on usb-power-profiling to fix it: fqueze/usb-power-profiling#4

Once it's merged, I'll update the the package used in this PR (currently it's using a custom git commit).

[soulgalore]

Looks good, lets merge when your fix is published.

Thanks for the review @soulgalore! I've merged the changes with the updated package from npm used now.
