fdt: Add a function to remove unused strings from a device tree

Property names are stored in a string table. When a node property is
removed, the string table is not updated since other nodes may have a
property with the same name.

Thus it is possible for the string table to build up a number of unused
strings. Add a function to remove these. This works by building a new device
tree from the old one, adding strings one by one as needed.
