Goal:
1) improve device scanning and propose the end-user with more logical choice.
2) allow device dedicated plugin to add the name in selection list.

Changes:
Updated chart1.cpp code to be compliant with scandir function.
Move all filtering and devices selection into "paternFilter" new function.
Create a "paternAdd" function to allow external pluging to register specific device paterns (ex: ait2000)

To find my code search for "FULUP devices selection with scandir" string, the only modified function is "EnumerateSerialPorts"

How to test:
Replace "chart1.cpp in your opencpn/src and recompile
Ubuntu 12.04/32 may use provided prebuilt package.
Check for PNG to see a screenshot rendering

Other improvement:
I think that when no valid device are found, we could not propose a default list as we know they wont work !!!

Note: I'm not a WTX expert, and I'm sure that function related to WTX string handling could be improved.
