Merge #159

159: Provide access to serial status flags idle/txe/rxne r=therealprof a=oll3

Noticed that the serial interface were missing access to these flags and seem to be present in other stm32xx hals (like stm32f4xx-hal).

Added them so that an ISR can differ between these events.

Edit: removed unnecessary unsafe.
