[test] replace node-libgpiod with serialport in electron-rebuild workflow (#3945)

`node-libgpiod` uses deprecated NAN which is incompatible with Electron
v39+. `serialport` uses N-API ensuring compatibility with current and
future Electron versions.

`node-libgpiod` is only used by 1 of ~1300 3rd-party-modules
(MMM-PresenceScreenControl), while serialport is used by at least 4
modules (MMM-Serial-Notification, MMM-RadarPresence, MMM-LKY-TIC and
MMM-Gestures), making it a better test candidate.

Also updates Electron to v39.

Fixes #3933
