Repl doesn't work

Apparently the repl depends on picocom being installed. This is undocumented, and also undiscoverable other then by digging around in the source.

Additionally, there's no picocom builds for windows as well.

Putty works well on windows (it doesn't require all the things installed on the remote device that rshell does, and has cli switches.

Something like

def startREPL():
    if 'win32' in sys.platform:
        sub.call(["putty", "-serial", "COM10", "-sercfg", "115200,8,n,1,N"])
    else:
        sub.call(["picocom", "-serial", "-b115200"])

seems to work, though I've not figured out how picocom gets the serial port when it is invoked.

There's lot of random hard-coded values that make things annoying. http://micropython.org/resources/firmware/esp8266-20190529-v1.11.bin"? I'm not using a esp8266, etc...
