dtc: Add an option to generate __local_fixups__ and __fixups__

This records detailed usage of labels in a dtb. This is needed in
overlays (and enabled implicitly for these). For ordinary device trees
it can be used to restore labels when compiling back to dts format.

property for each label. The property's name is the label name and the
value is the path of the labeled node.

Possibly generates a __local_fixups__ and a __fixups__ node at the root node.
For each property that contains a phandle reference using a locally
defined phandle, the __local_fixups__ node contains a property (at path
/__local_fixups__/$a if $a is the path of the node). Its value is a list
of offsets that are phandle values. If there are no such properties, no
__local_fixups__ node is generated.
For each undefined label used in at least one reference, the __fixups__
node contains a property. Its name is the label name, its value is a
list of locations where the label is used in a reference in the format
"path:property:offset". If there is no undefined label, no __fixups__
nodes is generated.
Enabled by default for compiling overlays (i.e. dts files with a
/plugin/ tag).

-A
Generate automatically aliases for all node labels. This is similar to
