Added ability for users to define a default serial target #75

I'd like to use arduino-cmake to always be able to start a serial connection with my arduino from within vim by binding a key to :!make serial. It must have a constant name, so I've added the ability to define a target simply called "serial" with the option DEFAULT_SERIAL for TARGET_NAME, which is the same command as "${TARGET_NAME}-serial". No idea if this is a feature you'd like but I just threw it together and thought I'd contribute back. Thanks for the quality work by the way! It's allowed me to free myself of the Arduino IDE.

Hi,

Thanks for contributing, this is a nice addon to Arduino CMake but I feel that for the majority of people this won't use it. Adding this much code just to create an alias for {TARGET}-serial is worth the overhead, which will have to be maintained by me.

Thanks for the idea!
