Support partial usbtmc reads and request the size amount of bytes from the device

[Jimmyvandenbergh]

another update for reading the data back from the device. this enhances the PR #465

changes explained below:

• req = BulkInMessage.build_array(self._btag, size, None) we want to request the amount of bytes from the device which user specifies. therefore the header may specify more bytes then in a single transaction wMaxPacketSize can be transmitted. the device may response with less bytes.
• above is also needed when you want to support IEEE 488.2 arbitrary block reads. this normally will read 2 bytes # then your read the number of bytes from the device which holds the exact amount of bytes the data package may hold. this to claim memory on the host for large data packets. see below image:

• resp = raw_read(self.usb_recv_ep.wMaxPacketSize) you may request wMaxPacketSize but the device may send less bytes than requested

• fix the indentation of the received_message.extend(received_transfer[: response.transfer_size]) this should always remove the alignment bytes instead of only on EOM

• updated the code to request x amount of wMaxPacketSize to be read instead of wMaxPacketSize this to improve readout speeds.

• Closes # (insert issue number if relevant)

• Executed black . && isort -c . && flake8 with no errors

• The change is fully covered by automated unit tests

• Documented in docs/ as appropriate

• Added an entry to the CHANGES file

Speed performance for a command that send a large amount of data back:
backend:

• NI-VISA: ~2.406 seconds
• pyvisa-py small chunks: ~3.275 seconds current implementation in 0.7.3 (and pre large chunk implementation)
• pyvisa-py large chunks: ~2.413 seconds

[Jimmyvandenbergh]

I think, at least, following issues are impacted and should benefit from this PR.

• this should solve issues when reading data from instruments occur after updating to 0.7.2 or later
• reading binary data when data may be larger than 1 message or does not complete in the first read() (transfer size is not met) of the device

Thanks @Jimmyvandenbergh and sorry for the delay. This is a clear improvement and I will merge the companion PR to PyVISA when I manage to test it since I am a bit more worried about side effects of those changes
