Installing the libfdt headers at $(HOST_DIR)/include interferes with the
build of the kernel, as in beaglebone:

We cannot simply disable dtc support and patching the kernel makefiles
is risky and error-prone, so let's just install the host-dtc headers at
$(HOST_DIR)/include/libfdt to circumvent the problem.

Packages that depend on those headers (e.g. host-qemu) must be updated
to user the correct path but this is small change.
