USB Apple Superdrive is not supported for playing CDs

USB Apple superdrive support to be added

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using another CD drive but they're not as cool

Additional context
@bweston6 The USB slot loading Apple Superdrive requires a bytestring sent to it before it will wake up and do anything - it won't even suck in a disc without it. Macs do this automatically. It would require the sg3_utils package to be installed and an sg_raw write command issued. This can be done by adding a rule to udev that detects the manufacturer and device ID when it is plugged in.

ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1500", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", DRIVERS=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/sg_raw %r/sr%n EA 00 00 00 00 00 01"

The Superdrive also has no eject button. CDs are ejected on Mac by dragging them to the Trash can. The HiFiBerry UI would need an eject button.

Thanks! I'll have a look at this at the end of the week

@hifiberry looks like this would need hifiberry/create#16 to be merged if you could take a look please. I think it would be best to put the eject button on that source page, unless you'd want it on the now playing screen somewhere.
