[RFC PATCH 40/77] dtc: Introduce dti_get_node_by_path()

The future introduction of orphan nodes for addons device-tree will lead
to more than one tree in the addons data. Those trees will be:
  - the classical root tree starting at the root node
  - trees related to orphan nodes

Also, an addon device-tree can have only trees based on orphan nodes. In
other words an addon device-tree is valid without having the classical
'root' tree.

To prepare this change, introduce and use dti_get_node_by_path().

dti_get_node_by_path() retrieves a node by its path like
get_node_by_path() but it works at the struct dt_info level.

It handles the case where a 'root' device-tree is not present and will
handle orphan nodes trees as soon as they will be introduced.

This introduction doesn't lead to any functional changes.
