Tests: USBHID: Make report test optional on Linux

This test case uses `hidapi` -- a cross-platform Python module.
To keep the initial Mbed setup as simple as possible, the `hidapi`
module is skipped on Linux hosts because of its external dependancies
for this platform.

The module can be easily installed following instructions from the
README file.
The test case is skipped if the host machine lacks `hidapi` module.

+# Testing the USB HID device with a Linux host
+
+Before running `tests-usb_device-hid` test suite on a Linux machine, please
+make sure to install the `hidapi` Python module first, otherwise some test
+cases will be skipped. Due to external dependencies for Linux, this module
+is not installed during the initial setup, to keep the process as simple
+as possible.
+
+For Debian-based Linux distros, the dependencies can be installed as follows
+(based on module's [README][1]):
+
+```bash
+apt-get install python-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
+pip install --upgrade setuptools
+```
+To install the `hidapi` module itself, please use the attached
+`TESTS/usb_device/hid/requirements.txt` file:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
