arm: DT autogeneration - Device Tree generation methods
This patch adds an extra layer to the pyfdt library such that usage
gets easier and device tree nodes can be specified in less code,
without limiting original usage. Note to not import both the pyfdt
and fdthelper in the same namespace (but generally fdthelper is all
you need, because it supplies the same classes even when they are not
extended in any way)
Also, this patch lays out the primary functionality for generating a
device tree, where every SimObject gets an empty generateDeviceTree
method and ArmSystems loop over their children in an effort to merge
all the nodes. Devices are implemented in other patches.
