SerialDiscovery

A simple proof-of-concept board discovery tool with JSON output. See Arduino issue #7942.

arduino/Arduino#7942

Sample JSON Output

This JSON output was generated with 3 boards connected, generating the first 3 JSON blocks. Then one board was unplugged and reconnected, giving 2 more blocks for its disconnect and reconnect events.
