📄 Description

This adds a toggle to the WebUSB configuration page (taking the spot of the unused rsvd2 variable) to choose whether OpenPuck should emulate a Steam Controller Puck, or a Steam Machine internal receiver.

This is mostly just cosmetics (it shows "Steam Machine Internal Adapter" instead of "Steam Controller Puck"), but it might be helpful for people actually putting an OpenPuck chip inside their own custom Steam Machine, since it lets Steam know that that's not actually a Puck the controller can be placed on.

This re-uses the rsvd2 variable previously used for g_landAll87. To make sure there's no conflicts with past values, I've added a new magic value "0xEE" for this variable; only this value will make OpenPuck act like a Steam Machine.
