Subject: [PATCH 2/2] scripts/make_fit: Add option to disable compression for DTBs

Old bootloaders found on RK3399 and MT8173 based Chromebooks only
support compression for the kernel image in the FIT image, and not the
DTBs. While compression could be disabled, aforementioned bootloaders
also limit the kernel image size to 32 MiB, making compression necessary
for any practical setup.

Add an option to disable DTB compression to support this case.

+Use -C to disable compression for DTBs regardless of the setting of '-c'.

 The resulting FIT can be booted by bootloaders which support FIT, such
 as U-Boot, Linuxboot, Tianocore, etc.
