Serial port communication #12

In addition to SSH2 and Telnet the app should support serial port communication.

This has been requested by multiple users via Windows Store reviews and/or e-mails.

Not sure if this is supported in Windows Store Apps but I will investigate.

A quick search shows that while it is apparently not possible to use "native" serial ports for communication it should indeed be possible via USB-to-serial devices: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn303355(v=vs.85).aspx https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/USB-CDC-Control-sample-5ba19caa

However, in UWP there seems to be a new, specialized namespace for this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.serialcommunication
