We now use EDTS and gen_defines.py to generate DTS defines. We
deprecated the old script and defines several releases ago, so lets now
remove them.

Add a new DTS/binding parser to scripts/dts/ for generating
generated_dts_board.conf and generated_dts_board_unfixed.h.
The old code is kept to generate some deprecated defines, using the
--deprecated-only flag. It will be removed later.
The new parser is implemented in three files in scripts/dts/:
dtlib.py:
A low-level .dts parsing library. This is similar to devicetree.py in
the old code, but is a general robust DTS parser that doesn't rely on
preprocessing.
edtlib.py (e for extended):
A library built on top of dtlib.py that brings together data from DTS
files and bindings and creates Device instances with all the data for
a device.
gen_defines.py:
A script that uses edtlib.py to generate generated_dts_board.conf and
generated_dts_board_unfixed.h. Corresponds to extract_dts_includes.py
and the files in extract/ in the old code.
testdtlib.py:
Test suite for dtlib.py. Can be run directly as a script.
testedtlib.py (uses test.dts and test-bindings/):
Test suite for edtlib.py. Can be run directly as a script.
The test suites will be run automatically in CI.
The new code turns some things that were warnings (or not checked) in
the old code into errors, like missing properties that are specified
with 'category: required' in the binding for the node.
The code includes lots of documentation and tries to give helpful error
messages instead of Python errors.

A recent change in how the fixup mechanism works caused several
regressions. See
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/12680 for more
details about the regressions.
The core of the matter is that using defines to pass on include paths
causes interopability issues when integrating with external build
systems.
To resolve this we re-write the fixup mechanism to instead generate an
aggregated fixup file that is ready to be included at build time. Then
no paths are passed through defines and we resolve the regressions
reported.

extract_dts_includes.py has been generating DT output and then
concatenating it with fixup header files to create
'generated_dts_board.h'.
In this patch we instead introduce a source file named
'generated_dts_board.h' and have it \#include the appropriate DT
output and fixup files.
This results in a simpler system because users can now read
'generated_dts_board.h' as C source code to see how fixup files and
generated DT output relate to each other. Whereas before they would
have to either read documentation or python code to gain the same
understanding.
Also, it reduces the scope and complexity of one of our most bloated
python scripts, extract_dts_includes.py.
