What this does
Update
dynamizel.py::find_available_ports
to detect usb port connected to the dynamixel servos in multiple platforms - windows, mac and linux. The current approach of usingPath("/dev").glob("tty*")
was unable to detect ports in windows.How it was tested
I tested the logic by running on a pc, mac as well as a linux virtual machine and was able to detect the port on all three platforms.

How to checkout & try? (for the reviewer)
This can be tested only when running the dynamixel script while connecting and disconnected the usb device.
