nixos/hardware/device-tree: make overlays more reliable
This make the process of applying overlays more reliable by:

1. Ignoring dtb files that are not really device trees. [^1]

2. Adding a `filter` option (per-overlay, there already is a global one)
   to limit the files to which the overlay applies. This is useful
   in cases where the `compatible` string is ambiguous and multiple
   unrelated files match.

Previously the script would fail in both cases.

[^1]: For example, there is dtbs/overlays/overlay_map.dtb in the
      Raspberry Pi 1 kernel.

6c9df40a4b nixos/device-tree: improve overlays support
Now allows applying external overlays either in form of
.dts file, literal dts context added to store or precompiled .dtbo.

If overlays are defined, kernel device-trees are compiled with '-@'
so the .dtb files contain symbols which we can reference in our
overlays.

Since `fdtoverlay` doesn't respect `/ compatible` by itself
we query compatible strings of both `dtb` and `dtbo(verlay)`
and apply only if latter is substring of the former.

Also adds support for filtering .dtb files (as there are now nearly 1k
dtbs).

28cf80acf8 nixos/hardware.deviceTree: Move things around
In response to comments, create a sub-folder for deviceTree packages
(starting with rpi), and a top-level package for helpers.
