Improve Simulator handling of in-use USB connection

SDK Feature Requests

Mirror is aware when it can't get the USB connection to Playdate (because something else is using it, eg. Simulator) and prompts

The same does not apply to Simulator, which is not aware of the USB connection being in use and you have to wait for things to timeout when trying to upload a game, etc.

So my request is for the Simulator to be more aware of the USB status.

For example not start the upload process if it can't get the USB connection.
And/or show a warning like Mirror does.

You're right, it should be better about handling connections. I'll get it in the tracker, thanks!

Turns out, it was supposed to do this already but there was a bug preventing it from working correctly. Got it fixed up.
