Driver model currently only operates after relocation is complete. In this
state U-Boot typically has a small amount of memory available. In adding
support for driver model prior to relocation we must try to use as little
memory as possible.
In addition, on some machines the memory has not be inited and/or the CPU
is not running at full speed or the data cache is off. These can reduce
execution performance, so the less initialisation that is done before
relocation the better.
An immediately-obvious improvement is to only initialise drivers which are
actually going to be used before relocation. On many boards the only such
driver is a serial UART, so this provides a very large potential benefit.
Allow drivers to mark themselves as 'pre-reloc' which means that they will
be initialised prior to relocation. This can be done either with a driver
flag or with a 'dm,pre-reloc' device tree property.
To support this, the various dm scanning function now take a 'pre_reloc_only'
parameter which indicates that only drivers marked pre-reloc should be
bound.

The root device should be probed just like any other device. The effect of
this is to mark the device as activated, so that it can be removed (along
with its children) if required.

using UBI and DM together leads in compiler error, as
both define a "struct device", so rename "struct device"
in include/dm/device.h to "struct udevice", as we use
linux code (MTD/UBI/UBIFS some USB code,...) and cannot
change the linux "struct device"

Add some tests of driver model functionality. Coverage includes:
- basic init
- binding of drivers to devices using platform_data
- automatic probing of devices when referenced
- availability of platform data to devices
- lifecycle from bind to probe to remove to unbind
- renumbering within a uclass when devices are probed/removed
- calling driver-defined operations
- deactivation of drivers when removed
- memory leak across creation and destruction of drivers/uclasses
- uclass init/destroy methods
- automatic probe/remove of children/parents when needed
This function is enabled for sandbox, using CONFIG_DM_TEST.
