* [Fuego] [PATCH] Add support for full device paths (with slashes and colons) to sercp

Add a new argument (-d, --device) to support a full device path.
Due to file argument parsing constraints, sersh cannot handle
certain serial paths used as the host for the source or destination.

This feature makes it possible to use a full path with slashes
and colons to specify the serial port for the operation.  Use something
like:
 $ sercp -d /dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:00.0-usb-0:3:1.4 file1 serial:/tmp

The reason for this is that in some cases, using the full path is more
convenient than the single-word device.  For example, the full path can
uniquely identify a serial port on a USB port, that might change device
names as USB ports are connected and disconnected.

Just some commentary on the patch...

This patch solves the problem we were discussing earlier.
With the feature, I can do any of the following, which are all equivalent:
$ sercp foo ttyACM1:/tmp
$ sercp -d /dev/ttyACM1 foo serial:/tmp
$ sercp -d /dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:08:00.0-usb-0:3:1.4 foo serial:/tmp
All of these copy file 'foo' to the host at the other end of the serial port.

You can use 'serial' as the placeholder for the device path in either the source
or destination file arguments.  So this works also:
$ sercp -d /dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:08:00.0-usb-0:3:1.4  serial:/tmp/foo bar
(copy the file 'foo' from the remove host back to the local filesystem, as 'bar').

Let me know what you think.

BTW - what's up with the unused "user@" parameters?  Why are those supported?
Fuego does not need them or use them.  Was there some plan to use them in the future?
