Note: By iDevice, this means iPhones, iPads, iPods, Airpods, etc. Apple Products if you will. This script restarts usbmuxd to refresh the fd provided by `termux-usb` when iDevice is disconnected, imitating how it normally behaves on traditional desktop linux. This is intended to be ran by any program that will use usbmuxd. We cannot have multiple iDevices connected due to `termux-usb` limitations so the best we can do is warn the user about it. If there are multiple USB devices connected, the script will cycle each one of them and ask the user for permission before verifying whether the device is an iDevice.
…`libimobiledevice` This is the correct dependency to actually run `usbmuxd`, even moreso for the helper script

This is a very janky workaround. What would be better is to wait for termux/termux-api-package#204 and patch |

Changes
Why
Users have to figure out how to use the janky workaround of manually using termux-usb. This script stops that madness and tries to imitate how it work on desktop, while running it will try to connect to an Apple device using the termux-usb workaround and maintain that connection.
Downsides
Sadly this doesn't really do the daemon part of usbmuxd as there's no way to get a notification if a USB device was plugged, that means we would have to continuously poll Termux:API if we wanted this to run as a service/daemon type of thing which causes issues on some ROMs that don't like spamming
termux-usbcommands although if that is preferred I would be happy to rewrite everything as a runit service that just polls.
