sandbox: Add CONFIG_OF_HOSTFILE to read FDT from host file
With sandbox it is tricky to add an FDT to the image at build time (or later) since we build an ELF file, not a plain binary, and the address space of the whole U-Boot is not accessible in the emulated memory map of sandbox. Sandbox can read files directly from the host, though, so add an option to read an FDT from a host file on start-up. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

If you wish to put the fdt at a different address in memory, you can
define the "fdtcontroladdr" environment variable. This is the hex
