libfdt highlights since 1.4.3:
- fdt_property_placeholder added to create a property without specifying its
value at creation time
- stringlist helper functions added to libfdt
- Improved overlay support
- Various internal cleanup
Also switch stand/fdt over to using libfdt for overlay support with this
update. Our current overlay implementation works only for limited use cases
with overlays generated only by some specific versions of our dtc(1). Swap
it out for the libfdt implementation, which supports any properly generated
overlay being applied to a properly generated base.
This will be followed up fairly soon with an update to dtc(1) in tree to
properly generate overlays.
MFC note: the <stdlib.h> include this update introduces in libfdt_env.h is
apparently not necessary in the context we use this in. It's not immediately
clear to me the motivation for it being introduced, but it came in with
overlay support. I've left it in for the sake of accuracy and because it's
not harmful here on HEAD, but MFC'ing this to stable/11 will require
wrapping the #include in an `#ifndef _STANDALONE` block or else it will
cause build failures.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13893
This is a split merge because of non-uniform licensing of the DTC package
contents and the way these components will be used in the FreeBSD environment.
The original DTC package is composed of the following two major pieces:
1. sys/contrib/libfdt (BSD [dual] license)
2. contrib/dtc (GPLv2)
The libfdt component is going to be shared in all aspects of the environment:
- /boot/loader
- kernel
- dtc (the device tree compiler proper, userspace tool)
