serial: add PORT_GENERIC definition
Current pattern in the linux kernel is that every new serial driver adds one or more new PORT_ definitions because uart_ops::config_port() callback documentation prescribes setting port->type according to the type of port found, or to PORT_UNKNOWN if no port was detected. When the specific type of the port is not important to the userspace there's no need for a unique PORT_ value, but so far there's no suitable identifier for that case. Provide generic port type identifier other than PORT_UNKNOWN for ports which type is not important to userspace.
