[posix] RCP(USB CDC ACM) hard reset support (#6454)

This commit handles the situation when RCP(USB CDC) performs hard
reset. This commit brings an alternative to pseudo reset by handling
the connection with RCP(USB CDC ACM) by reset the socket connection
after the device is reset.

When RCP is connected by USB CDC and we reset it, the RCP device is
numerated in host operating system.  So far for RCP(USB CDC) pseudo
reset has been performing meaning only specific parts of firmware were
reset thanks to results the connection hasn't been broken. For hard
resetting RCP(USB CDC) device the host needs to handle the connection
properly.

It uses udev library to check if device enumeration has ended if
libudev-dev package is present in the host system otherwise it waits
few seconds.

It works based on symlink to the RCP device created by udev in
/dev/serial/by-id/ directory.
