libufdt: device tree overlay via unflattening FDT
The original version of libdtoverlay is slow in searching for particular nodes and adding subnodes/properties due to the operations on flattened device tree (FDT). `libufdt` builds a real tree structure (named ufdt -- unflattned device tree) from FDT. In the real tree, we can perform certain operations (e.g., merge 2 subtrees, search for a node by path) in almost optimal time complexity with acceptable additional memory usage. With libufdt, we improve the merging of two dtb files from O(N^2) to O(N), where N is the number of nodes in the tree. Bug: 30800619 Test: run test scripts (see libufdt/tests/README) Test: manually ported libufdt into a bootloader, checked it can merge a base dtb and a dtbo to generate a final dtb to boot the device Change-Id: I1ff886bb8a62bad1451edcd7c4fe5cb48b7a034a
