Add fdt read/write utility functions

This adds higher-level libfdt operations for reading/writing an fdt
blob from/to a file, as well as a function to decode a data type string
as will be used by fdtget, fdtput.

This also adds a few tests for the simple type argument supported by
utilfdt_decode_type.
