Serial port required even when using another programmer #1151

Description

@gpvillamil

I am currently using an Arduino compatible platform (https://move38.com/pages/blinks-collection) that is programmed using a USBTinyISP.

It does not need access to a serial port.

However, the Arduino plugin for VS Code requires a serial port to be defined before it will allow uploading, even if it won't be used. I currently have the serial port set to a Bluetooth serial port for some random robot.

Programming through the USBTinyISP works perfectly from VS Code once the serial port is set to any value.

However, there are users on systems that do not have any serial ports, so they are stuck.

Would suggest changing the system to not require a serial port for uploading if an alternative (non-serial) programmer is defined.

(Great plugin otherwise, fantastic leap forward for embedded systems)
