|struct usb_port| and its matching container_of() macro should live in

Move them as described. Also move usb_port_is_power_on(), since in the
next change its |struct usb_hub *| parameter will be changed to
|struct usb_port *|, and becomes a non-static function that only
references |struct usb_port|.

port.h is only included from hub.h, as a subsequent patch will directly
use fields from |struct usb_port| in a static inline helper in hub.h.
The USB internal headers don't have header guards to help with this.

Also drop 'extern' from the header declaration of usb_port_is_power_on().
This is not needed in modern C.
