now that apps will be gone extensions need access to serial port

Reported by s.buer...@gmail.com, May 27 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. create extension with `serial` as a permission requirement in the manifest.json file
2. load unpacked extension
3. see error

What is the expected behavior?
I expect that an extension has access to serial ports now that apps are sunsetting. This is the suggested route for migration and there are no other options (serial port doesnt live on the web).

What went wrong?
When attempting to load my unpacked extension I get the following error message: `'serial' is only allowed for packaged apps, but this is a extension.`

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6

Any empty extension that has `serial` in the manifest file will do.
