Update wiki to include support for USB webcams #396

At the time of previously installing this I didn't think about potential of using an old webcam (not supported by Windows).

You might like to add this to the wiki regarding kernel compilation for WSL... (Haven't actually done it yet but thought I would put this up before I forget) If someone is going to compile a kernel regarding USB devices, they probably might as well cover majority of USB cases.

PS your usbipd driver worked like a dream with an old scanner (not supported with Windows) - was scanning a lot of photos and used 2 scanners at once... one on Windows and another on WSL with xsane...
