Reverted the Windows changes. I've seen a few instances of Caterina devices with the correct Additionally, although the detection logic appears to be run in a separate thread from the UI, the while loop would run forever in this situation, or if the driver is not usbser (tested this with WinUSB). Which may potentially cause issues. I think I will probably refactor the macOS serial detection code to match against the serial device itself, so that there's no need for this loop or a UI-freezing sleep. |

Description
This is an attempt to fix a crash that occurs on macOS when the callout device does not appear within 0.5 seconds of the USB device. Instead of sleeping for that time, we just continually loop, under the assumption that a callout device will appear. I think this would be perfectly fine except that as far as I know this is running in the same thread as the UI - but that may be something for another day. It should not block for too long.
The logic is copied on the Windows side, although I think the COM port appears at the same time as the USB device anyway.
