Introduce a new magic number for dynamic plugin objects,
which is enabled by selecting dtbo/input output options.

Why is a new magic number needed for .dtbo?  Isn't it the
same format as the existing .dtb, just with some added
nodes?

I insisted on that.  Yes, the encoding format is the same, but in
order to properly interpret the content, you have to know that it's an
overlay rather than a full tree.  So, it should have a different magic
number.
