PC App: guesses the serial port device name

Browse Source 
When the serial device name is not passed with paramerer -d
then the PC app will try to find an existing serial device.

* On Windows: selects the COM device with the highest number.
* On Linux: selects the serial usb device in any order, but
       priority is given to devices with Arduino name.
* ON MAC OS: selects the last  /dev/tty.* or /dev/tty/wchusb*
       device in the order that OS lists them.

This serial port detection should work OK if you have only one
Arduino attached. If you have (and need to have) several
Arduinos or serial ports connected at the same time then pass
the '-d' parameter to specify which one to use.
