Add the ability to mark a property as 'deprecated' to get a warning that
it will be removed in the future.

We deprecated a number of aspects of the DTS binding syntax in Zephyr
2.1. Remove the support for the deprecated syntax. Remove from docs
about the deprecated syntax as well.
Removed reference in release-notes-2.1.rst to legacy_binding_syntax
since that anchor doesn't exist anymore.

Implement a nice generalization suggested by Bobby Noelte.
Instead of having a generic #cells key in bindings, have source-specific
*-cells keys. Some examples:
interrupt-cells:
- irq
- priority
- flags
gpio-cells:
- pin
- flags
pwm-cells:
- channel
- period
This makes bindings a bit easier to read, and allows a node to be a
controller for many different 'phandle-array' properties.
The prefix before *-cells is derived from the property name, meaning
there's no fixed set of *-cells keys. This is possible because of the
earlier 'phandle-array' generalization.
The older #cells key is supported for backwards compatibility, but
generates a deprecation warning.

Deprecate 'sub-node:' and add a more general 'child-binding:' mechanism
to bindings. Keep supporting 'sub-node:', but print a deprecation
warning when it's used.
Like 'sub-node:', 'child-binding:' gives a binding to child nodes, but
the binding is required to be a complete binding, and is treated (and
checked) like a normal binding.
'child-binding:' can in turn contain another 'child-binding:', up to any
number of levels. This is automatic from treating it like a normal
binding, and from the code initializing parent Devices before child
Devices.
This lets nodes give bindings to grandchildren.
For example, take this devicetree fragment:
parent {
compatible = "foo";
child-1 {
grandchild-1 {
...
};
grandchild-2 {
...
};
};
child-2 {
grandchild-3 {
...
};
};
};
The binding for 'foo' could provide bindings for grandchild-1/2/3 like
this:
compatible: "foo"
# Binding for children
child-binding:
title: ...
description: ...
...
# Binding for grandchildren
child-binding:
title: ...
description: ...
properties:
...
Due to implementation issues with the old devicetree scripts, only two
levels of 'child-binding:' is supported for now. This limitation will go
away in Zephyr 2.2.
Piggyback shortening 'description:' and 'title:' in some bindings that
provide child bindings. This makes the generated header a bit neater.

Instead of
properties:
compatible:
constraint: "foo"
, just have
compatible: "foo"
at the top level of the binding.
For backwards compatibility, the old 'properties: compatible: ...' form
is still accepted for now, and is treated the same as a single-element
'compatible:'.
The old syntax was inspired by dt-schema (though it isn't
dt-schema-compatible), which is in turn a thin wrapper around
json-schema (the idea is to transform .dts files into YAML and then
verify them).
Maybe the idea was to gradually switch the syntax over to dt-schema and
then be able to use unmodified dt-schema bindings, but dt-schema is
really a different kind of tool (a completely standalone linter), and
works very differently from our stuff (see schemas/dt-core.yaml in the
dt-schema repo to get an idea of just how differently).
Better to keep it simple.
This commit also piggybacks some clarifications to the binding template
re. '#cells:'.

Having backwards compatibility for !include and 'constraint:' is silly
without also having backwards compatibility for 'category:', because
that forces a binding change anyway.
Add backwards compatibility for 'category:', and just print a
deprecation warning when it's used.
Also move tests for deprecated features into a dedicated
test-bindings/deprecated.yaml binding, instead of piggybacking on other
tests.
