Subject: [PATCH V4 REPOST 2/2] kbuild: run the pre-processor on *.dts files

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

Modify cmd_dtc to run the C pre-processor on the input .dts file before
passing it to dtc for final compilation. This allows the use of #define
and #include within the .dts file.

v4:
* Use -x assembler-with-cpp so pre-defined macros are set up so that
  #included header files know to only use cpp syntax, not C syntax.
* Define __DTS__ for similar reasons.
* use $(CPP) not $(CC) -E, and use $(cpp_flags).
* Save the pre-processed results so they can be easily inspected when
  debugging build issues.
* The use of -x assembler-with-cpp causes cpp to recognize directives in
  column 1 only. Hence, there's no need to escape property names that
  begin with #. Hence, there's no need for separate skeleton.dtsi and
  skeleton.dtsip. Maintain a separate file extension and build rule so that
  CPP-usage is opt-in. In particular, when using CPP, #include must be used
  rather than /include/ so that dependencies work.
v3: Pass "-x c" not "-xc" to cpp.
v2: Place make %.dtb: %.dtsp rule into Makefile.lib.
