[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] Add dtc (device tree compiler) as host tool

The dtc is taken from the Linux kernel sources and simply copied to the host
directory.
Having dtc as a separate host tool can be useful for users that have a custom
boot scenario where the device tree is not embedded in the kernel.

v2: remove old parameters to GENTARGETS call, sorry.
