libfdt: Add helper function to create a trivial, empty tree
The libfdt read/write functions are now usable enough that it's become a moderately common pattern to use them to build and manipulate a device tree from scratch. For example, we do so ourself in our rw_tree1 testcase, and qemu is starting to use this model when building device trees for some targets such as e500. However, the read/write functions require some sort of valid tree to begin with, so this necessitates either having a trivial canned dtb to begin with or, more commonly, creating an empty tree using the serial-write functions first. This patch adds a helper function which uses the serial-write functions to create a trivial, empty but complete and valid tree in a supplied buffer, ready for manipulation with the read/write functions.
