Added prebuilt libserialport for Windows.

Browse Source

The libserialport is part of PulseView. Therefore there's no standalone binary distribution of libserialport for Windows. The official alternative is to build libserialport from the sources. However, the official way to do so (see https://sigrok.org/wiki/Windows#Native_build_using_MSYS2) requires a full MSYS2 installation. This makes sense as the official build implies 'autogen.sh' and 'configure' (see https://sigrok.org/wiki/Libserialport).

The search for a more lightweight approach requiring only a pure Mingw-w64 installation revealed https://github.com/scottmudge/libserialport-cmake. However, its build description says 'Make sure you have installed one of the Windows SDKs (I have tested 8 and 10) so that you have the dependencies required for windows (cfgmgr32.lib and SetupAPI.Lib).' 'And obviously you need CMake installed as well.' So that still wasn't exactly lightweight.

But fortunately it also says 'I have also included precompiled libraries for x64 versions of Windows if you'd like to use those. Just make sure to copy libserialport.h into your "include" directory.'
