Subject: [PATCH] label: collect labels to __phandles__ node in interger format

Currently labels are collect to __symbols__ node in path string format,
the libufdt have no support of it when do overlay.

Add a new method which collect labels in __phandles__ node which each
entry is an interger format, it will allow libufdt to keep labels when
do (stack) overlay.

The new method including below points,
1. add an option -P for dtc tool, it will create __phandles__ node and
labels in interger foramt
2. add new function in fdt_overlay.c to support merge __phandles__ node
3. add overlay test which test -P option
