idf_monitor: Small fixes (baud rate, EOL, /dev/tty.X on macOS, Ctrl-T on failure)

* "make monitor" not passed the configured baud rate
  Closes #436 https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/436
* Pass toolchain prefix from sdkconfig into monitor tool
* Allow setting EOL in idf_monitor.py, use CRLF by default
* Detect if /dev/tty.X is used on macOS, warn and replace with /dev/cu.X
* If a build fails or gdb exits, ignore Ctrl-T (allowing Ctrl-T Ctrl-A/F to be same key sequence everywhere)
* Add a note about winpty on Windows
  Ref 02fdf8271d (commitcomment-21369196)

 Issues Observed on Windows
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+- If you are using the supported Windows environment and receive the error "winpty: command not found" then run ``pacman -S winpty`` to fix.
 - Arrow keys and some other special keys in gdb don't work, due to Windows Console limitations.
 - Occasionally when "make" exits, it may stall for up to 30 seconds before idf_monitor resumes.
 - Occasionally when "gdb" is run, it may stall for a short time before it begins communicating with the gdbstub.
