From: Stephen Warren <redacted>

cmd_dtc_cpp runs the C pre-processor on the input .dts file before
passing it to dtc for final compilation. This allows used of #define
within the .dts file.

Introduce a new rule for %.dtsp -> %.dtb, which uses cmd_dtc_cpp. A new
file extension is introduced for this purpose, since use of the pre-
processor must be optional; any property or node name that starts with
"#" must be escaped to prevent the pre-processor attempting to interpret
it as a directive. For this reason, skeleton.dtsi-cpp is introduced for
*.dts-cpp to include.

v3: Pass "-x c" not "-xc" to cpp.
v2: Place make %.dtb: %.dtsp rule into Makefile.lib.
