serial: poll the serial console with G_IO_HUP

On FreeBSD polling a master pty while the other end is not connected
with G_IO_OUT only results in an endless wait. This is different from
the Linux behaviour, that returns immediately. In order to demonstrate
this, I have the following example code:

http://xenbits.xen.org/people/royger/test_poll.c

When executed on Linux:

$ ./test_poll
In callback

On FreeBSD instead, the callback never gets called:

$ ./test_poll

So, in order to workaround this, poll the source with G_IO_HUP (which
makes the code behave the same way on both Linux and FreeBSD).
