Add a chapter on UART host-guest connections

As requested by @karlp and other users, host-guest connection is a very common thing to do and we do not have docs for that.

We should write about:

  • uart via pseudoterminal
  • uart via socket

We need to include details about emitConfig, as it may be confusing

023c976 adds sections describing the pseudoterminal and socket host-guest UART connections.

EDIT: The linked commit does not document pseudoterminal and socket host-guest UART connections, those will be added soon.

Um, either you still haven't pushed the right commit, or you closed the wrong issue? that linked commit doesn't relate to this issue, and there's no other recent commits that appear relevant either, suggest this be re-opened?

mateusz-holenko commented

@karlp you are right - I closed the issue prematurely, sorry for that :(

The commit I linked extends the testing section of the documentation and describes some features we recently added to the test-renode tool.

I'm now working on sections about the pseudoterminal and socket host-guest UART connections and hope to publish them soon.

ddbac81 adds the UART host-guest integration section covering both the pseudoterminal and the socket-based approach.
