Option to disable serialport on installation

[KokXinTan]

Hi,

I currently have node red installed on a Kubernetes cluster. Due to the stateless nature of pods on kubernetes, serialport fails on installation (refer to logs below).

Is there any option to install this without installing serialport? As I only need the TCP IP module.
