[SRU] Add profile-set for HP Thunderbolt Dock

[Kai-Heng Feng]

[Impact]
HP Thunderbolt Dock has a USB audio device provides headset connector functionality. The Dock can also attach an optional USB audio module. Since they are both USB audio device, the input/output names are the same and it confuses user.

[Fix]
Add PulseAudio profile-sets for each USB device with different monikers.

The merge request is already approved by maintainer, will be merged after 14.0 release:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/353

[Test]
With profile-set applied, two different USB audio device on HP TBT Dock have distinctive names.

[Regression Potential]
Currently I can't think of any regression risk, as this SRU only adds new profile-sets and description translation.

Pushed to [1], both ubuntu and ubuntu-focal branch.

@Kai, do you know why upstream is going to delay the commit until after the new version is out? Do they consider it risky for some reasons?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

PulseAudio is currently feature freeze and only bug fix can be merged.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

But the change there seems a bugfix more than a feature?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Well, it depends how you interpret the issue. Both USB audio devices work, but they share the same description "USB Audio" in the drop down menu.

You can find "Merge request approved. Approved by Tanu Kaskinen" in the merge request.

An upload of pulseaudio to focal-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Changes/bug references from 3.7 are missing from the changes file. The ideal way to resolve this would be to squash 3.7 and 3.8 together and upload as 3.7.".

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]
