[PATCH 1/6] binman: Produce a template-file after processing

[Simon Glass]

This file aids debugging when binman fails to get far enough to write out
the final devicetree file. Write it immediate after template processing.

+The initial devicetree produced by the templating process is written to the
+`u-boot.dtb.tmpl1` file. This can be useful to see what is going on if there is
+a failure before the final `u-boot.dtb.out` file is written.

 Note that template nodes are not removed from the binman description at present.
