On Teensy 3.x - we have Serial1.clear, Serial2.clear...

But not Serial.clear.

Serial.clear() exists for Teensy2, so thought I would try to add it for
Teensy 3s...

Sometimes the PC or Mac drivers are not actually ready to begin receiving data immediately after they cause DTR or RTS to assert.  This delay allows the PC to become ready before we tell sketches the Serial device is true (ready).
