kbuild: create a rule to run the pre-processor on *.dts files

Create cmd_dtc_cpp to run the C pre-processor on *.dts file before
passing them to dtc for final compilation. This allows the use of #define
and #include within the .dts file.

clean-files += *.dtb
DTC_FLAGS ?= -p 1024
dtc_cpp
This is just like dtc as describe above, except that the C pre-
processor is invoked upon the .dtsp file before compiling the result
with dtc.
In order for build dependencies to work, all files compiled using
dtc_cpp must use the C pre-processor's #include functionality and not
dtc's /include/ functionality.
Using the C pre-processor allows use of #define to create named
constants. In turn, the #defines will typically appear in a header
file, which may be shared with regular C code. Since the dtc language
represents a data structure rather than code in C syntax, similar
restrictions are placed on a header file included by a device tree
file as for a header file included by an assembly language file.
In particular, the C pre-processor is passed -x assembler-with-cpp,
which sets macro __ASSEMBLY__. __DTS__ is also set. These allow header
files to restrict their content to that compatible with device tree
source.
A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dtsp;
architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
