kbuild: create a rule to run the pre-processor on *.dts files
Create cmd_dtc_cpp to run the C pre-processor on *.dts file before passing them to dtc for final compilation. This allows the use of #define and #include within the .dts file.

+ This is just like dtc as describe above, except that the C pre-
+ processor is invoked upon the .dtsp file before compiling the result
+ with dtc.
+
+ In order for build dependencies to work, all files compiled using
+ dtc_cpp must use the C pre-processor's #include functionality and not
+ dtc's /include/ functionality.
+
+ Using the C pre-processor allows use of #define to create named
+ constants. In turn, the #defines will typically appear in a header
+ file, which may be shared with regular C code. Since the dtc language
+ represents a data structure rather than code in C syntax, similar
+ restrictions are placed on a header file included by a device tree
+ file as for a header file included by an assembly language file.
+ In particular, the C pre-processor is passed -x assembler-with-cpp,
+ which sets macro __ASSEMBLY__. __DTS__ is also set. These allow header
+ files to restrict their content to that compatible with device tree
+ source.
+
+ A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dtsp;
+ architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
