Provide a way to retrieve device name / port name

[lirc572]

It seems that currently there is no way to get the port name and device name of the serial devices (like what is shown in the requestPort popup).

It would be really helpful to provide these attributes in SerialPortInfo.

Can you describe how you would use this information in your application?

I would like to show in the UI which port/device is currently connected, like what they put at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE:

I would like to add another use case:
In my application I want to provide a list of barcode scanners in use. The real device names should be shown instead of having to map the usbVendorId and usbProductId to some generic names. So, having device and port name in SerialPortInfo would be very convenient.

1. Mapping the name would be a huge effort!
2. The name should be accurate and can not be guessed based on these two parameters.
3. It is not an option to connect to every device to get this information.

No doubt this is a needed feature.
Anyone that's developed with a serial port in the past 40 years has used the port name, not vendor and product, for UI purposes.
