[PATCH RFT 1/4] efi: payload: ignore ESP state.dtb if device tree is populated

In preparation for allowing the state nodes to ship inside the barebox
binary (as we do for non-EFI-payload already), add provisions to skip
the external file if barebox already has a populated DT.
Also for the case that a state had already been set up, skip manual
creation of the state node.
