Check device against list_ports.comports() #1

COM ports in Windows are not files and cannot be handled as Linux devices to check their existence. Use list_ports.comports() and check, if device exists against available devices.

Yegor,

My version of the python serial module does not have a 'tools' sub-module. I re-worked device_exists() to work with or without it. I am not set up to test this on Windows. Can you do that, and let me know if there are any problems with the solution I've just checked in.

Thanks for the new feature! -- Tim

Tim,

I've tested your version on Windows (Python 2.7.6). Everything is working as expected.

Thanks for committing.

Yegor
