[RFC/PATCHv2 1/5] dtc: Use quotes to include header files

Currently in arch and driver code that needs early access to the
flattened device tree it is necessary to add specific CFLAGS so that
when scripts/dtc/libfdt/libfdt.h is included the C preprocessor is able
to locate the libfdt versions of libfdt_env.h and fdt.h without
generating an error.

We already provide an alternative linux-specific
version of libfdt_env.h and directly include scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt.h
so the inclusion by scripts/dtc/libfdt/libfdt.h is a no-op thanks to the
inclusion guards.

By using quotes in scripts/dtc/libfdt/libfdt.h it picks up fdt.h and
libfdt_env.h from the source directory without needing to add CFLAGS for
the sources that happen to include linux/libfdt.h.

For the files that include linux/libfdt.h we currently also have to
specify additional CFLAGS to satisfy the CPP.

  $ git grep '<linux/libfdt.h>'
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-platform.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/setup.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  arch/mips/mti-sead3/sead3-setup.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/fdt.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  drivers/of/fdt.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>
  drivers/of/fdt_address.c:#include <linux/libfdt.h>

  $ git grep -e '-I.*dtc/libfdt'
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/Makefile:CFLAGS_octeon-platform.o = -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/Makefile:CFLAGS_setup.o = -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  arch/mips/mti-sead3/Makefile:CFLAGS_sead3-setup.o = -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:CFLAGS_prom.o              = -I$(src)/../../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:CFLAGS_fdt.o += -I$(srctree)/scripts/dtc/libfdt/
  drivers/of/Makefile:CFLAGS_fdt.o = -I$(src)/../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  drivers/of/Makefile:CFLAGS_fdt_address.o = -I$(src)/../../scripts/dtc/libfdt
  lib/Makefile:   $(eval CFLAGS_$(file) = -I$(src)/../scripts/dtc/libfdt))

Simply by switching to using quotes we can avoid having this extra step.
