thunderbolt: Add 'generation' attribute for devices
The Thunderbolt standard went through several major iterations, here called generation. USB4, which will be based on Thunderbolt, will be generation 4. Let userspace know the generation of the controller in the devices in order to distinguish between Thunderbolt and USB4, so it can be shown in various user interfaces.
