[PATCH v2 4/8] dts: Add alternative location for upstream DTB builds

Allow platform owners to mirror devicetree files from devitree-rebasing
directory into dts/arch/$(ARCH) (special case for dts/arch/arm64). Then
build then along with any *-u-boot.dtsi file present in arch/$(ARCH)/dts
directory.

This will help easy migration for platforms which currently are compliant
with upstream Linux kernel devicetree files.
