failover: add van-modem-usb-kick — recover EC25 modem when it never enumerates at boot

Browse Source 
Seen after moving the modem onto the new powered UGreen hub: the port
sometimes never signals a connect during boot (no descriptor-read attempt at
all in dmesg), so the hub never rescans it. Unbind/rebinding the inner hub
chip reproduces the same connect edge a physical unplug/replug does.
