548767f42e dtc: Rework handling of boot_cpuid_phys
Currently, dtc will put the nonsense value 0xfeedbeef into the
boot_cpuid_phys field of an output blob, unless explicitly given
another value with the -b command line option.  As well as being a
totally unuseful default value, this also means that dtc won't
properly preserve the boot_cpuid_phys field in -I dtb -O dtb mode.

This patch reworks things to improve the boot_cpuid handling.  The new
semantics are that the output's boot_cpuid_phys value is:
	the value given on the command line if -b is used
otherwise
	the value from the input, if in -I dtb mode
otherwise
	0

Implementation-wise we do the following:
	- boot_cpuid_phys is added to struct boot_info, so that
structure now contains all of the blob's semantic information.
	- dt_to_blob() and dt_to_asm() output the cpuid given in
boot_info
	- dt_from_blob() fills in boot_info based on the input blob
	- The other dt_from_*() functions just record 0, but we can
change this easily if e.g. we invent a way of specifying the boot cpu
in the source format.
	- main() overrides the cpuid in the boot_info between input
and output if -b is given

We add some testcases to check this new behaviour.

2cf86939af libfdt: Abolish fdt_offset_ptr_typed()
The fdt_offset_ptr_typed() macro seemed like a good idea at the time.
However, it's not actually used all that often, it can silently throw
away const qualifications and it uses a gcc extension (typeof) which
I'd prefer to avoid for portability.

Therefore, this patch gets rid of it (and the fdt_offset_ptr_typed_w()
variant which was never used at all).  It also makes a few variables
const in testcases, which always should have been const, but weren't
caught before because of the aforementioned silent discards.

3c44c87bde libfdt: Rename and publish _fdt_next_tag()
Although it's a low-level function that shouldn't normally be needed,
there are circumstances where it's useful for users of libfdt to use
the _fdt_next_tag() function.  Therefore, this patch renames it to
fdt_next_tag() and publishes it in libfdt.h.

In addition, this patch adds a new testcase using fdt_next_tag(),
dtbs_equal_ordered.  This testcase tests for structural equality of
two dtbs, including the order of properties and subnodes, but ignoring
NOP tags, the order of the dtb sections and the layout of strings in
the strings block.  This will be useful for testing other dtc
functionality in the future.
