Make utility work in the face of 2 issues found on Ubuntu 16.04

[nitsanw]

I hit 2 issues:

1. Resource busy: need to set device to auto detach
2. Interface number hardcoded to 0, but turned out to be 2
   I also added some output to help future failures easier to diagnose (I think). Arguably those should be put behind a 'quiet' flag. While doing this I formatted the errors (for the better I believe).
   This fixed issues [error -6] on Ubuntu 16.04  #42 (for me) and perhaps issue Doesn't work on Ubuntu 15.04 #34

It seems like your ipad is setup for tethering and that a related failure is resulting in a disconnect. This fix is not geared at fixing this new issue.
Is this patch an improvement on the current version?

[jpptinsley]

My iPad doesn't even have a cellular chip, it's a wifi-only one. No tethering options show up in the pad's settings. I can't test the patch, because my Pad refuses to charge with it. It does appear to be getting further than the current version, however, yes.

[nitsanw]

@jpptinsley can you please send the "lsusb -v" output from your setup with the ipad connected, maybe there's a clue there

[Tatsh]

I'm wondering if this has to do with usbmuxd or ipheth. My pull request #48 tries to solve this issue but I do not think it does quite yet. It waits for bConfigurationValue to be 1 before trying to charge.

This fork worked fine for me. 👍
