First character sent to the UART is smashed

Found out: in uart verilog, send_pattern should be initialized to 1 so that first value of the stop bit is correct.

I confirm that send_pattern = 1; solves the smashed character. However, the short Reset delay sometimes also produced wrong characters directly after boot, so I reverted to reg [7:0] reset_cnt = 0;
