Require sys-usb to start before starting qubes with persistently attached USB devices #7498

The problem you're addressing (if any)

I've stumbled upon the same problem as described here:
https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/persistent-usb-device-prevents-sys-net-from-starting-on-boot/4446
I need to have qube that start automatically on boot and have USB device attached from sys-usb.
When I check "Start qube automatically on boot" tick in Qubes Settings for my qube then my qube try to start on boot but it fails because the sys-usb is not yet started and the persistently attached USB device is not found.

The solution you'd like

Make it the same way as for net qubes:
Check at boot time if the qube is flagged as "Start qube automatically on boot" and has persistently attached USB device then wait until sys-usb is started before starting the qube.

The value to a user, and who that user might be

User won't have to manually start qubes with persistently attached USB devices after every boot.
