[SERIAL] Make the number of UARTs registered configurable.

Also add a nr_uarts module option to the 8250 code to override
this, up to a maximum of CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS

This should appease people who complain about a proliferation
of /dev/ttyS & /sysfs nodes whilst at the same time allowing
a single kernel image to support the rarer occasions of
lots of devices.
