This allows for directives such as
makeoptions DTS+=/out/of/tree/myboard.dts
# in tree! Same rules applied as if this were in a dtb/ module
makeoptions DTS+=otherboard.dts
to be specified in config(5) and have these built/installed alongside th
kernel. The assumption that overlays live in an overlays/ directory is only
made for in-tree DTSO, but we still make the assumption that out-of-tree
arm64 DTS will be in vendored directories (for now).
This lowers the cost to hacking on an overlay or dts by being able to
quickly throw it in a custom config, especially if it doesn't fit one of the
current dtb/modules quite appropriately or it's not intended for commit
there.
The build/install targets were split out of dtb.mk to centralize the build
logic and leave out the all/realinstall/CLEANFILES additions... it was
believed that we didn't want to pollute the kernel build with these.
The build rules were converted to suffix rules at the suggestion of Ian to
clean things up a little bit in a world where we can have mixed
in-tree/out-of-tree DTS/DTSO specified.

DTB Overlays are useful to change/add nodes to a dtb without the need to
modify it.
Add support for building dtbo during buildkernel.
The goal of DTBO present in the FreeBSD source tree is to fill a gap in
time when we submit changes upstream (Linux). Instead of waiting 2 to 4 months
we can add a DTBO in tree in the meantime.
This is not for adding DTBO for capes/hat/addon boards, those will be
better to put in a ports.
This is also not for enabling a i2c/spi/pwm controller on certain pins,
each user have a different use case for those (which pins to use etc ...)
and we cannot have all possible configuration.
Add a dtbo for sun8i-h3-sid which add the SID node missing in upstream dts.

Most of these do a 'mkdir -p' or 'install -d' before installing, but add
the trailing / here for consistency with the userland install.

root with BSD.root.mtree, so it often times will not exist. Rather
than force the latter for an installkernel, just create the directory
with a comment about why.
