Good first issuePlugin: SerialT: Enhancement

Description

Most of the time, when debugging MCU, we use Serial Terminal and constantly receive large amount of log data, so when we need to observe the data, Tabby currently has no good method because there is no "Disconnect" button on the UI, and we can only disconnect by closing the Tab, and at this time, all the data on the interface is destroyed.

So we hope to provide a very small function. When connecting the Serial Port, the UI provides a button to close the serial port. Thank you very much.

Research direction
Investigate the serial terminal component in Tabby's source code (likely under the frontend directory). Identify where the serial port connection is managed and add a disconnect button to the UI. Ensure the button stops the serial data stream without closing the tab. Review any existing serial service for disconnect methods.
