According to the Unified Kernel Image (UKI) specification [1], including
a compiled device tree in the .dtb section of a UKI is optional. However,
the current implementation always packages device trees listed in
KERNEL_DEVICETREE into the UKI by default. This makes uki.bbclass
unsuitable for systems that rely on firmware-provided DTBs and do not
want a DTB embedded in the UKI.

Fix this by introducing a new UKI_DEVICETREE variable to control device
tree packaging. The dtb section is now populated from UKI_DEVICETREE
instead of KERNEL_DEVICETREE. Users who do not want DTBs included in the
UKI can override UKI_DEVICETREE to an empty value from their recipes.
