Please update udev rules for newer Steam builds

[Teg]

Impact
------
Steam needs new udev rules to interact with their Steam controller, the HTC Vive and the PlayStation 4 DualShock controller. The udev rules also allow Steam to update the firmware in these devices.

Steam won't work properly if these rules are not updated.

Test Case
---------
If you have this hardware, you can test that the hardware works with Steam and that your hardware has the latest firmware.

Otherwise, for 16.10, this should update
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-HTC-Vive-perms.rules and
/lib/udev/rules.d/99-steam-controller-perms.rules

99-HTC-Vive-perms.rules has been renamed to 60-HTC-Vive-perms.rules

For 14.04 and 16.04, it should update
/lib/udev/rules.d/99-steam-perms.rules
and add
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-HTC-Vive-perms-Ubuntu.rules

Regression Potential
--------------------
Low. These rules have been shipped directly by Steam since 1.0.0.54 released at the end of October 2016.

Other Info
----------
There is a very complicated conflict between the steam packages shipped in Debian (and fake-synced to Ubuntu) and those shipped in Valve's own repository which is automatically enabled if you install Steam directly from Steam's website.

I am working to try to fix that conflict but it may take some time and it may involve adding new packages in Ubuntu SRUs. So there will probably be another SRU but let's get this easier update taken care of first.

For the 14.04 and 16.04 SRUs, I ensured that the udev rules have different file names than the files shipped by Ubuntu 16.10+ and Valve to not make the file conflict and LP: #1638463 any worse.

Original Bug Report
-------------------
According to https://steamcommunity.com/app/353370/discussions/0/490123197956024380/ newer builds of Steam post November 22, 2016 have new udev rules that have to be implemented by distributions. Please update the steam package for Trusty and above to accommodate these rules.

I do not have the hardware to test these rules, but I reached out to ~jorge who does and he confirmed that the update worked for him. I believe he tested with Ubuntu 16.10. He can't comment directly because there was a problem with him being able to log in to Launchpad after leaving Canonical recently.

I also checked the build logs for steam 1:1.0.0.45-1ubuntu1.2 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 1:1.0.0.48-1ubuntu4 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 1:1.0.0.52-5ubuntu2 for Ubuntu 16.10 and verified that the files look correct there.
