SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted s/w flow control support

Ports which are capable of handling s/w flow control in hardware to
know when the s/w flow control termios settings are changed.  Add a
flag to allow the low level serial drivers to indicate that they
support this, and these changes should be propagated to them.
