[RFC PATCH 2/3] ARM: use cmd_dtc_cpp for compilation of *.dts-cpp to *.dtb

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

This allows DT source files to use the C pre-processor. A new file
extension is introduced for this purpose, since use of the pre-processor
must be optional; any property or node name that starts with "#" must be
escaped to prevent the pre-processor attempting to interpret it as a
directive. For this reason, skeleton.dtsi-cpp is introduced for *.dts-cpp
to include.
