There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.

The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.

This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

Please ack so I can take the whole series via the DT tree.

v2:
 - Fix $arch/boot/dts path check for out of tree builds
 - Fix dtc dependency for building built-in dtbs
 - Fix microblaze built-in dtb building

Hmm, I was worried about '%.dtb.o: | dtc'
but seems working.

Compiling %.S -> %.o requires objtool for x86,
but x86 does not support DT.
Well, x86 does support DT to some extent. There's 2 platforms and the
DT unittests build and run on x86.

Actually, we can remove "%.dtb.S %.dtb.o" because we don't need those
as top-level build targets. Must have been a copy-n-paste relic from
before having common rules.
If CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, scripts/genksyms/genksyms is required,
%.dtb.S does not contain EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Okay, but that shouldn't affect any of this. We only build *.dtb.S
when doing built-in dtbs.
BTW, 'dtc' should be a PHONY target.
Right, I found that too.
