[PATCH v8 0/3] dtc: Dynamic DT support

[Pantelis Antoniou <pantelis.antoniou-OWPKS81ov/FWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

The first patch introduces a new magic number and new output/input
format options marking dynamic objects.

The next two patches enable generation of symbol & fixup
information for use with dynamic DT loading, along with the
documentation about the internal operation.

Changes since v6:
* Introduced xasprintf

Changes since v4:

Now instead of being generated as part of blob generation
they are created in the live tree.

* Added -A auto-label alias generation option.
* Addressed maintainer comments.
* Added syntactic sugar for overlays in the form of .dtsi
* Added /dts-v1/ /plugin/ preferred plugin form and deprecate
the previous form (although still works for backward compatibility)

Changes since v2:
* Split single patch to a patchset.
* Updated to dtc mainline.
* Changed __local_fixups__ format
* Clean up for better legibility.
