Changes:
- converted some ints to "unsigned", since gcc was generating warnings
and negative lengths don't make sense in the flat data structure.
- added ft_set_prop(), which doesn't yet resize properties but will in
the future.
- added an explicit copyright statement.
Still haven't looked to merge Matt's changes (because I'm busy, the
current code works for me, and they haven't been accepted in u-boot
yet).
Current users: Xen
Future users: Mark's Linux bootwrapper code
Potential users: kexec, u-boot

Forgot to add that dtc itself is a potential user of this code.

On this subject, it's just been asked that the Xen library containing
this code be relicensed as LGPL (instead of GPL).
Panto, you're the original author of that code. Since we are trying to
make a library, I think LGPL makes sense. Is relicensing OK with you?
(Matt, this would be relevant to your outstanding patches as well.)

The other version that was posted had support for modifying an
existing flat tree, which I need for the wrapper code for prep. Are
those "Matt's changes"? Are you thinking of adding that capability to
your version?

You can do this now with the ft_set_prop() function, which is what I'm
using for Xen.
At the moment that function isn't able to modify the size of a property,
but Mark is going to adapt his code (which supports that).
