Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
For those running it in docker on a non RPi, this selection is never used as it's always OTA...but it takes up screen real estate, especially on mobile

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I've never used this selection as OTA is the only option

**Additional context**
Opening this FR per @glmnet https://github.com/esphome/esphome/commit/a1e10f384e41ebc415b99b533306d55e65c34994#commitcomment-41456889

Research direction

Start by locating the serial-port selection dropdown and the code that detects available ports, then review the referenced commit for context. Check the Docker-on-non-Raspberry-Pi OTA use case described here. Done means the dropdown is absent when no serial ports are detected while remaining available when ports exist.
