The idea here was to have the dtsi file get included automatically
during build, and that happens only when the dtsi file, with a
specific name, is in the same directory as the dts being built. The
include directory is just a location where files would be searched for
when building, but the corresponding dtsi file will have to be
explicitly included in the dts being built. So this would mean every
board dts file needing to include the capsule dtsi file, instead of
automatic inclusion. I believe putting this dtsi file in the dts
directory of an architecture which is using capsule updates is easier
than including it in every board's dts.

The initial implementation was generating the signature node in a dtbo
on the fly, and including it into the corresponding dtb as it was
built. This is the approach that was taken in v1 [1], but Simon did
not like it, and Jonas suggested this approach [2].
