A recent change in how the fixup mechanism works caused several
regressions. See
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/12680 for more
details about the regressions.
The core of the matter is that using defines to pass on include paths
causes interopability issues when integrating with external build
systems.
To resolve this we re-write the fixup mechanism to instead generate an
aggregated fixup file that is ready to be included at build time. Then
no paths are passed through defines and we resolve the regressions
reported.

extract_dts_includes.py has been generating DT output and then
concatenating it with fixup header files to create
'generated_dts_board.h'.
In this patch we instead introduce a source file named
'generated_dts_board.h' and have it \#include the appropriate DT
output and fixup files.
This results in a simpler system because users can now read
'generated_dts_board.h' as C source code to see how fixup files and
generated DT output relate to each other. Whereas before they would
have to either read documentation or python code to gain the same
understanding.
Also, it reduces the scope and complexity of one of our most bloated
python scripts, extract_dts_includes.py.
