Actually, it looks like all of the ModeIndex_* table are *not* used,
so those will be removed.

The remaining tables are many and large, so stuffing them into the
source file does not seem like the correct thing to do. Instead I
shall move them to their own "sisusb_tables.h" include file where they
can be referenced only by the file(s) which make use of them.
