Fix error 32 returned by CP210X_SET_MHS when hardware flow control is enabled.

The root cause of error 32 is that user application (CoolTerm, linux-serial-test)
opened cp210x device with hardware flow control then attempt to control RTS/DTR pins.
In hardware flow control, RTS/DTR pins will be controlled by hardware only,
any attempt to control those pins will cause error 32 from the device.
This fix will block MHS command(command to control RTS/DTR pins) to the device
if hardware flow control is being used.

Giving credit in the commit log is nice, but this still doesn't say
anything about *what* you changed.

You didn't reply to my comments that what should be done here is to
disable auto-RTS when clearing TIOCM_RST and re-enable it when setting
the same bit. If you disagree with review feedback you need to say so
and not just resend a new version of your patch without an explanation.

Note that the above would also needlessly prevent DTR from being changed
whenever auto-RTS is enabled and return success instead of an error to
user space.

My suggestion for how to suppress the error message from dtr_rts()
suffers from the same problem so I've updated that patch and implemented
proper RTS handling in the driver now.

This takes care not only of the SET_MHS error messages, but also makes
sure that RTS can always be deasserted and some other related issues
with regards to modem control.
