pylibfdt: Support device-tree creation/expansion
Add support for fdt_open_into() and fdt_create_empty_tree() from the Python library. The former is named resize() since it better fits with what the Python binding actually does. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
