added `PortInformation` defines various information we can gather about a serial port device. implemented Windows `WindowsInformationIterator` to support retrieve all availble serial port information. Added example/list_port_info.zig and added to build.zig
parsing serial number for CDC serial driver requires additional work
Sometimes on Windows the serial number has to be obtained from a parent node

This is an attempt to add serial port information (issue #8) . This is done iteratively via
InformationIteratorwhich will return aPortInformationstruct for each serial port.This PR only adds Windows support. It is (I thought) surprisingly convoluted to get things like the serial number.
I'm thinking perhaps something like a VCP is not handled well but I do not have a device to test.
I have tested with devices using Windows CDC driver and FTDI.
