[PATCH v3 1/4] powerpc: Removing support for 'protected-sources'

In a recent thread [1,2,3] concerning device trees for AMP systems, the
question of whether we really need 'protected-sources' arose.  The general
consensus was that a new boolean property 'pic-no-reset' (described in more
detail in a following patch) could be expanded to cover the use cases that
'protected-sources' was covering.

One concern that was raised was for legacy systems which already use the
'protected-sources' property [4].  For legacy use cases, 'protected-sources'
will be treated as an alias of 'pic-no-reset'.  The sources
encoded in the 'protected-sources' cells, however, will not be processed.  This
legacy check is added in a later patch in the series.
