pylibfdt: Add a method to access the device tree directly
When calling libfdt functions which are not supported by the Fdt class it is necessary to get direct access to the device tree data. At present this requries using the internal _fdt member. Add a new method to provide public access to this, without allowing the data to be changed. Note that a bytearray type is returned rather than str, since the swig types are set up for bytearray to map correctly to const void *.
