Many places in dtc use strdup(), but none of them actually check the

potential bug, which we fix in the patch below by replacing strdup()
with an xstrdup() which in analogy to xmalloc() will quit with a fatal
error if the allocation fails.

I felt the introduciton of util.[ch] was a better choice
for utility oriented code than directly using srcpos.c
for the new string function.

Fair enough.  Now that we have a util.c, we should move die() and
xmalloc() in there as well which are currently duplicated between dtc
and convert-dtsv0.

This patch is a re-factoring of Dave Gibson's similar patch.
