rpi: add uart device_path
Currently there is no device_path registered for UART in Raspberry Pi source. This will hinder the working of UART driver in mraa.
So, register the device_path with '/dev/serial0' as most of the raspbian images make this as a soft link to real UART port by default.
Tested-on: Raspberry pi 3 model B

The change is technically trivial and looks ok to me, but are you sure the path is the same on RasPi 1 & 2, in addition to 3? Quick googling gives me this may be a RasPi 3 thing and on older versions the port was either /dev/ttyAMA0 or /dev/ttyS0. I don't have any of those to check, unfortunately.
On the other hand, if it wasn't there at all, it didn't work anyway, so having a wrong one would do no harm.
@alext-mkrs I assumed that /dev/serial0 exists for all Rpi models!
Changed the serial port to /dev/ttyS0 for all models except Rpi3. This port is used as general purpose UART while /dev/ttyACM0 is used for console. Also, /dev/serial0 is used for Rpi3.
@Mani-Sadhasivam spare me some time, i will test it with sensor having uart interface
@kvkdileep, are you still up to checking this one out? That's the last step before merging as everything else looks ok (Travis failure is unrelated to the change contents).
