Transition to the 2.0 series:

- New implementation only supports Python 2.2+, backwards compatibility
  should be maintained almost everywhere.
  The OS handles (like the hComPort or fd attribute) were prefixed with an
  underscore. The different names stay, as anyone that uses one of these
  has to write platform specific code anyway.
- Common base class serialutil.SerialBase for all implementations.
- PARITY_NONE, PARITY_EVEN, PARITY_ODD constants changed and all these
  constants moved to serialutil.py (still available as serial.PARITY_NONE
  etc. and they should be used that way)
- Added serial.PARITY_NAMES (implemented in serialutil.PARITY_NAMES).
  This dictionary can be used to convert parity constants to meaningful
  strings.
- Each Serial class and instance has a list of supported values:
    BAUDRATES, BYTESIZES, PARITIES, STOPBITS
  (i.e. serial.Serial.BAUDRATES or s = serial.Serial; s.BAUDRATES)
  these values can be used to fill in value sin GUI dialogs etc.
- Creating a Serial() object without port spec returns an unconfigured,
  closed port. Useful if a GUI dialog should take a port and configure
  it.
- New methods for serial.Serial instances: open(), isOpen()
- A port can be opened and closed as many times as desired.
- Instances of serial.Serial have baudrate, bytesize, timeout etc.
  attributes implemented as properties, all can be set while the port is
  opened. It will then be reconfigured.
- Improved __doc__'s.
- New test_advanced.py for the property setting/getting testing.
- Small bugfix on posix with get* methods (return value should be true a
  boolean).
- added a __repr__ that returns a meaningful string will all the serial
  setting, easy for debugging.
- The serialposix module does not throw an exception on unsupported
  platforms, the message is still printed. The idea that it may still
  work even if the platform itself s not known, it simply tries to do
  the posix stuff anyway (It's likely that opening ports by number
  fails, but by name it should work).
