The new fdt_generate_phandle() function can be used to generate a new,
unused phandle given a specific device tree blob. The implementation is
somewhat naive in that it simply walks the entire device tree to find
the highest phandle value and then returns a phandle value one higher
than that. A more clever implementation might try to find holes in the
current set of phandle values and fill them. But this implementation is
relatively simple and works reliably.
Also add a test that validates that phandles generated by this new API
are indeed unique.

At present, the lexer token for references to a path doesn't permit a
reference to the root node &{/}. Fixing the lexer exposes another bug
handling this case.
This patch fixes both bugs and adds testcases.

This patch allows the following construct:
/ {
property-a = "old";
property-b = "does not change";
};
/ {
property-a = "changed";
property-c = "new";
node-a {
};
};
Where the later device tree overrides the properties found in the
earlier tree. This is useful for laying down a template device tree
in an include file and modifying it for a specific board without having
to clone the entire tree.
