Start/stop serial reading from the dashboard #2

We should link serial_link.py and dashboard.py so we can enable and disable serial readings from the dashboard

[x] Enable/disable serial from the dashboard
[x] Select COM port from the dashboard -> done automatically
[x] Update documentation

An idea to select the right COM port would be to try all available COM on the computer, send a recognizable string to it and wait for an answer. The Arduino would send a specific answer to that string so we know when we have found it

May use serial.tools.list_ports.comports to list all available serial devices (https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools.html
