fdt: Allow more general use of livetree

At present livetree can only be used for the control FDT. It is useful
to be able to use the ofnode API for other FDTs, e.g. those used by
the upcoming configuration editor.

We already have most of the support present, and tests can be marked with
the UT_TESTF_OTHER_FDT flag to use another FDT as a special case. But
with this change, the functionality becomes more generally available.

Plumb in the require support.
