1. Remove inappropriate CP2105 VID/PID association from Tian board defin… …

   …ition
   
   Arduino board definitions may associate unique properties of a port. These are used by convenience features in the
   Arduino development tools that identify a port as a specific Arduino board.
   
   In the case of boards that connect to the host computer via a virtual COM port, that identifier is the USB VID/PID pair.
   
   This association should only be done with properties that are unique to the board. For most official Arduino boards,
   this is possible because Arduino creates dedicated VID/PID pairs for that product. In the case of the Tian, a general
   purpose Silicon Labs CP2105 chip was selected as the USB interface. The board has the manufacturer supplied VID/PID pair
   10C4:EA70. In this case it is irresponsible to associate that VID/PID pair with a board definition because any arbitrary
   device might have this VID/PID. The ports list will be confusing for users who have a CP2105 connected to their computer
   (whether it is on a 3rd party board or some other unrelated hardware).
