libfdt: Add overlay application function

The device tree overlays are a good way to deal with user-modifyable
boards or boards with some kind of an expansion mechanism where we can
easily plug new board in (like the BBB, the Raspberry Pi or the CHIP).

Add a new function to merge overlays with a base device tree.
