Add a helper function to be used to configure flow control.

The flow-control code was the last caller that relied on the
memset-on-failure behaviour of cp210x_read_reg_block(), which we can now
drop in favour of bailing out on errors when retrieving the flow-control
settings.

This should also simplify adding support for software flow control.
