Subject: [OE-core][PATCH v3] Support for .dtbo files for dtb overlays

Sorry, sent to the wrong list initially, then with wrong header, so updating
header...

v3: rebased

Recent kernels tend to use .dtbo files for device tree overlays, instead of
.dtb before.
.dtb are still used, but only for the "real" device trees (not the
overlays).

On some platforms (meta-raspberrypi for instance), recent firmware only
loads .dtbo files for overlays.

This patch tries to address this issue, while not breaking support for .dtb
overlays.
It allows the installation/deployment of both .dtb and .dtbo files, for
device trees and overlays.

This is in line with the behavior of kernels 4.4.6+
