USB serial programming from a docker-container

To support flashing an ESP device directly from your RPi, /dev/ttyUSB0 is made available to the container. This file usually auto-created when an USB-to-serial-converter is plugged in. Docker needs the file to exist when the container is started, even if an ESP is not plugged in at that time. Files in created in /dev aren't persisted upon reboot. Thus a service is needed to create it at startup. This service is usually added by install.sh or menu.sh. If it somehow missing, just add the service manually:

bash .templates/esphome/create-systemd-ttyUSB0-service.sh
