[PATCH v4 1/6] device_tree: add qemu_fdt_setprop_strings() helper

[Ben Dooks]

Add a helper to set a property from a set of strings
to reduce the following code:

    static const char * const clint_compat[2] = {
        "sifive,clint0", "riscv,clint0"
    };

    qemu_fdt_setprop_string_array(fdt, nodename, "compatible",
        (char **)&clint_compat, ARRAY_SIZE(clint_compat));

v4:
 - go back to the non-return call, no-one is using the result
v3;
 - fix return value for the call
 - add better help text
v2:
 - fix node/path in comment
