drivers: serial: Implement serial wrapper to add DTR

This driver wraps an existing UART device and adds
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) functionality for runtime
power management.
When the UART is powered off, DTR is deasserted.
When the UART is powered on, DTR is asserted.

This allows remote end to shut down the UART when DTR is deasserted.

+	  that depend on it. Generally set higher than CONFIG_UART_INIT_PRIORITY.
