Most bindings look something like this:
title: Foo
description: This binding provides a base representation of Foo
That kind of description doesn't add any useful information, as it's
just the title along with some copy-pasted text. I'm not sure what "base
representation" was supposed to mean originally either.
Many bindings also put something that's closer to a description in the
title, because it's not clear what's expected or how the title is used.
In reality, the title isn't used anywhere. 'description:' on the other
hand shows up as a comment in the generated header.
Deprecate 'title:' and generate a long informative warning if it shows
up in a binding.
Next commits will clean up the 'description:' strings (bringing them
closer to 'title:' in most cases) and remove 'title:' from all bindings.

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:'.

Add two bindings
test-bindings/multidir.yaml
test-bindings-2/multidir.yaml
and a new test-multidir.dts with two nodes that use them.
Verify that the two bindings were found by checking the
Device.binding_path attribute for the two device nodes.
