dtc: Add code to make diffing trees easier

I just applied this patch and gave it a try.

I'm in the process of changing dts files for mpc5200b systems to use the
new device tree merging with a .dtsi file.

I used this sorting tool to try to compare my results to make sure I'm
not breaking anything. Unfortunately for some of the files I ended up
renaming nodes from the original. When the nodes are renamed, the
sorting doesn't produce what I would like. The nodes get reordered by
the sorting method when in this case I'd rather they didn't change order.

What I would have liked is to see that the node was renamed but the
contents were the same.

I'm wondering if the node sorting could be done somehow by register values.
