fix: Correct debugging_monitor.py script instructions (#676)

## Summary

**What is the goal of this PR?**
- Minor correction to the `debugging_monitor.py` script instructions

**What changes are included?**
- `pyserial` should be installed, NOT `serial`, which is a [different
lib](https://pypi.org/project/serial/)
- Added macOS serial port

## Additional Context

- Just a minor docs update. I can confirm the debugging script is
working great on macOS

+### Debugging
+
+After flashing the new features, it’s recommended to capture detailed logs from the serial port.
+
+First, make sure all required Python packages are installed:
+
+```python
+python3 -m pip install pyserial colorama matplotlib
+```
+after that run the script:
+```sh
+# For Linux
+# This was tested on Debian and should work on most Linux systems.
+python3 scripts/debugging_monitor.py
+
+# For macOS
+python3 scripts/debugging_monitor.py /dev/cu.usbmodem2101
+```
+Minor adjustments may be required for Windows.
