Add 9-bits word length mode for serial (new)

 ### Added
 
+- Added the ability to specify the word size (8 or 9 bits) for `Serial` (USART). When using parity, the parity bit is included in the number of bits of the word.
+- `blocking::serial::Write` for `Tx` and `Serial`. `core::fmt::Write` for `Serial`
 - `Instance` for Timer's, rtic-monotonic fugit impl
 - Serial can now be reconfigured, allowing to change e.g. the baud rate after initialisation.

 - Fix SPI3 alternate function remapping
 - Do not enable UART DMA flags unconditionally
 - Fix flash erase verification always failing
