hil: add usb_recover hub-cycle action; drop MosChip skips, gate it as incompatible

The MosChip MCS9990 card is physically removed from the rig: delete its
cases-11/25 SKIP workaround (and the now-orphaned SKIP accounting) from
usbtest.py and refuse to run outright if a DUT ever sits behind one again.

usb_recover.sh gains `hub-cycle <busport>`: uhubctl VBUS cycle of the port
feeding the device, walking upstream (parent hub -> root port) until it
re-enumerates. Verified on the rig: leaf-level recovery (13-4.4 usbtest
device) and full walk to the root port on a dead branch. SKILL.md updated
for the action and the two-Renesas topology (root-port ppps is real; leaf
1a40:0201 hubs fake their "ganged" switching).
