* Automation roots: refuse COM¹ to LPT³ and a device name before a colon

is_device_name missed COM¹, COM², COM³ and LPT¹, LPT², LPT³, which Windows reserves as it does COM1.
It also cut the name only at a period, so COM1: and NUL:x were not seen as device names.

* Credit my name in the About window

* Automation roots: document the device-name tests

CodeRabbit's docstring check counts the touched tests. same_component stays without a doc comment, because #2205 deletes that function and a doc line above it conflicts.

* Automation roots: record the device-name refusal

The MCP roots description and the roadmap now name COM¹ to LPT³ and a device name before a colon.
