serial: Store character timing information to uart_port

Browse source 
Struct uart_port currently stores FIFO timeout. Having character timing
information readily available is useful. Even serial core itself
determines char_time from port->timeout using inverse calculation.

Store frame_time directly into uart_port. Character time is stored in
nanoseconds to have reasonable precision with high rates. To avoid
overflow, 64-bit math is necessary.

It might be possible to determine timeout from frame_time by
multiplying it with fifosize as needed but only part of the users seem
to be protected by a lock. Thus, this patch does not pursue storing
only frame_time in uart_port.
