fdt: Add DEV_TREE_BIN option to specify a device tree binary file

Browse Source 
In some cases, an externally-built device tree binary is required to be
attached to U-Boot. An example is when using image signing, since in that
case the .dtb file must include the public keys.

Add a DEV_TREE_BIN option to the Makefile, and update the documentation.

Usage is something like:

	make DEV_TREE_BIN=boot/am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb

You cannot use more than one of these options at the same time.
To use a device tree file that you have compiled yourself, pass
DEV_TREE_BIN=<filename> to 'make', as in:
make DEV_TREE_BIN=boot/am335x-boneblack-pubkey.dtb
Then U-Boot will copy that file to u-boot.dtb, put it in the .img file
if used, and u-boot-dtb.bin.
If you wish to put the fdt at a different address in memory, you can
define the "fdtcontroladdr" environment variable. This is the hex
address of the fdt binary blob, and will override either of the options.
