Fix reading on Windows at limited read buffer size

In case the read buffer has a limited size then are impossible to read
remainder which is still can be in driver's queue, since no readyRead
signal emmitted and reading are stalled.

Problem is that Windows does not fire the EV_RXCHAR event in case a
driver's queue has ready to read remainder; this event will be triggered
only when a new data are received.

The solution is to start of asynchronous read operation for reading of
possible remainder from the queue after doing QSP::read() from the user.

Besides is necessary to meet conditions:

- do not start reading in case a reading already is started

- do not start reading in case is not in limited buffer size

- do not start reading in case is a previous reading returns
a less data than read buffer size or are not in the hardware
flow control mode

Tested on Windows 8 with virtual com0com serial ports using Qt5 and then
Qt4.
