- Implemented getPropertyString(), getDeviceLocation(), tty_search_for_serial_devices()

for MacOS
- Added error handling and memory management
- Improved code readability and consistency
- Updated coding style to match project conventions

- Added robust error checking for CoreFoundation property retrieval
- Implemented more defensive memory allocation and type checking
- Switched to using callout device key for more reliable device discovery
- Added single-line block bracing consistent with project style
- Improved comments and code formatting

- Used `kIOCalloutDeviceKey` instead of `kIODialinDeviceKey` for device path retrieval
- Enhanced type checking for CoreFoundation objects
- Simplified memory management and error handling
- Added additional logging and error reporting

- Verified functionality on MacOS 10.11 and 10.15. Tested with ESP32-P4 and ESP32-BOX

Resolves potential device discovery and memory management issues in the MacOS serial device detection code.
