Allow HLA or LLA to query Logic serial number

Refer to discussion below:

Sometimes it would be useful to include the used devices serial number in the analyzers to being able to print it to the exported data. For both HLAs and C++ analyzers. I know the later is a side-slip nowadays, however I saw that you added new features to the API recently for the V2.

Use case example:
The device information is present in the comment section of the TRC file when generating with the PEAK tools. It is not a blocker feature for the implementation, it just a nice to have feature.

The TRC file has a field where the device identifier is present and I thought that it would be useful to have the serial number of the capturing Logic device exported there (if there would be an API for querying that).

Generally speaking having meta information (like hostname, capture start timestamp) exposed to analyzers (and saved to the captured files) is always a good thing because it could help figuring out the circumstances from a capture file later (who made it when made it, which device, etc.)
