Makefile, Man-pages and some cleaning

[MadsRC]

A makefile for fast & easy install (and removal) of usbkill, it's settingsfile and 2 man pages explaining usbkill and it's settingsfile.

I also created a AUTHORS file with a list of everyone that was listed as cotnributors.

Last but not least, I trimmed the usbkill.py code so there's noi longer any unneeded trailing spaces.

Thanks! But, I have two issues that prevent me from accepting this commit into master:

• For an installer, I want to have `setup.py' install it as a script, as this is the conventional way for installing python programs. Also, I want to keep settings.ini in /etc/
• You list authors in the authors file, but it is not clear to me that they want to be listed there (I wouldn't). I will ask them first if that is what they want, or they can notify me. You can list you and me there for now, and I will follow up on it.

Hello,

There is no problem to list me into the AUTHOR file but I think it's a bit useless as the commits are already speaking by themselves.

Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree about the Makefile, but it's you're project. If you don't want it, I'll remove it. About the settings file, I'd still recommend having it in /usr/local/etc and then symlinking it in /etc. That way you get to reference /etc/usbkill/settings.ini in your code and be POSIX compliant. POSIX specifies that /etc is for system wide configuration and /usr/local/(etc...) is for local data specific to the host. It would also make the project more compliant towards the hier(7) page.

About the second, for me it's clear that people would want to be listed as contributors, as they already are listed, as @pwnsdx mentioned, in the commits and under "contributors on GitHub. I'll remove people, and have them enter it themselves.

I'll make a new commit later tonight.
