An experiement to see how much work again it would take to add the T4 methods to allow user sketches to increase the size of Serial ports RX and TX buffers, without having to edit the Source code which does it then for all sketches.

Fixed serialEventX yield handling when you call begin multiple times
There is an issue that if you are not using the serialEvent type code and you call SerialX.begin multiple times, it will add that item to the process list multiple times, which can overrun the memory and cause crash or the like.
Fix was to check the list first and see if we are already in the list.
Code is setup that if there are no eventResponders that have registered to do interrupt calls, don't have the systic code in place to look for it.
Also yield code. Now figures out if the user has any code that installs their own serialEventX methods, to call them, but if they have left the default weak pointer versions, to not call them in yield. Likewise will only look for eventRespnder events if the sketch has actually attached any events. If none of these conditions are true, yield will just check one flag and return.
