dev-serial: add always-plugged property to ensure USB device is always attached

Some operating systems will generate a new device ID when a USB device is unplugged
and then replugged into the USB. If this is done whilst switching between multiple
applications over a virtual serial port, the change of device ID requires going
back into the OS/application to locate the new device accordingly.

Add a new always-plugged property that if specified will ensure that the device
always remains attached to the USB regardless of the state of the backend
chardev.
