kbuild: create a rule to run the pre-processor on *.dts files

Create cmd_dtc_cpp to run the C pre-processor on *.dts file before
passing them to dtc for final compilation. This allows the use of #define
and #include within the .dts file.

+       This is just like dtc as describe above, except that the C pre-
+       processor is invoked upon the .dtsp file before compiling the result
+       with dtc.
+
+       In order for build dependencies to work, all files compiled using
+       dtc_cpp must use the C pre-processor's #include functionality and not
+       dtc's /include/ functionality.
+
+       Using the C pre-processor allows use of #define to create named
+       constants. In turn, the #defines will typically appear in a header
+       file, which may be shared with regular C code. Since the dtc language
+       represents a data structure rather than code in C syntax, similar
+       restrictions are placed on a header file included by a device tree
+       file as for a header file included by an assembly language file.
+       In particular, the C pre-processor is passed -x assembler-with-cpp,
+       which sets macro __ASSEMBLY__. __DTS__ is also set. These allow header
+       files to restrict their content to that compatible with device tree
+       source.
+
+       A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dtsp;
+       architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
