cdc_uart: cater for Windows driver deficiencies

It's possible for the Windows CDC-ACM driver to ignore the IN endpoint
for long periods of time - multiple frames - if the host application
doesn't consume uart RX data. Boost buffer sizes to compensate.

Also prevent usb_thread from potentially being idle for a tick when
there's work to do.
