Currently all paths passed to of_find_node_by_path() must begin with a

Augment the look-up code so that if a path does *not* begin with '/',
the path is used as the name of an /aliases property.  The value of
this alias is then used as the full node path to be found.

have not forgotten about Grant's feedback, just deferred it to the
next version.

okay; I'll wait for the next version before I consider picking it up.
