dtoc: Allow DTC environment variable to provide path to dtc

The system device-tree compiler may not be new enough to run the tests we
use in U-Boot (e.g. with binman). Allow use of a DTC environment variable
to point to the correct dtc. If not defined, the dtc on the default PATH
is used.

 Most of the time such essoteric behaviour is not needed, but it can be
 essential for complex images.
 
+If you need to specify a particular device-tree compiler to use, you can define
+the DTC environment variable. This can be useful when the system dtc is too
+old.
