term/serial: Add support for PCI serial devices

Loosely based on early_pci_serial_init() from Linux, allow GRUB to make
use of PCI serial devices.

Specifically, my Alderlake NUC exposes the Intel AMT SoL UART as a PCI
enumerated device but doesn't include it in the EFI tables.

Tested and confirmed working on a "Lenovo P360 Tiny" with Intel AMT
enabled. This specific machine has (from lspci -vv):

From which the following config (/etc/default/grub) gets a working
serial setup:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 earlyprintk=pciserial,00:16.3,115200 console=ttyS0,115200"
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --port=0x40a0 --speed=115200"
GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console"

Documentation is added to note that serial devices found on the PCI bus will
be exposed as "pci,XX:XX.X" and how to find serial terminal logical names.
Also, some minor documentation improvements were added.

This can be tested in QEMU by adding a pci-serial device, e.g. using the option
"-device pci-serial".
