docs: Document requirement to install libusb separately on OSX/macOS #132

On OSX/macOS, installing the libusb1 python package does not bring the native dylib with it, so it's necessary to install libusb through Homebrew, Macports or some other route.

My opinion after researching #136 is that we should instruct the user to install both libusb and Python with Homebrew:

brew install python libusb
