port info #22

It will be very useful to get port info such as vid / hid name, etc... so I can detect my device automatically. Same as here: https://github.com/serialport/serialport-rs/blob/819b64000e8c9758589443bc1af08e97a7bde2f2/src/lib.rs#L701

I agree! This is related to #12 and should probably be solved with the same solution.

The main reason I haven't done it yet is the added complexity. But it would be a very useful feature.

I think we can not guarantee support for all platforms though. So I think all fields of the SerialPortInfo struct need to be options.

And we probably can't guarantee identical metadata across platforms for the same hardware either. But this can be solved with documentation.

Currently, I am using https://crates.io/crates/serial_enumerator as a temporary solution.
