fdt: Add support for a separate device tree (CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE)

Browse Source 
This adds support for an FDT to be build as a separate binary file called
u-boot.dtb. This can be concatenated with the U-Boot binary to provide a
device tree located at run-time by U-Boot. The Makefile is modified to
provide this file in u-boot-dtb.bin.

CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
still use the individual files if you need something more
exotic.
