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.

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:'.

The 'category: required/optional' setting for properties is just a
yes/no thing. Using a boolean makes it clearer, so have
'required: true/false' instead.
Print a clear error when 'category:' is used:
edtlib.EDTError: please put 'required: true' instead of 'category:
required' in 'properties: foo: ...' in
test-bindings/sub-node-parent.yaml - 'category' has been removed
The old scripts in scripts/dts/ ignore this setting, and only print a
warning if 'category: required' in an inherited binding is changed to
'category: optional'. Remove that code, since the new scripts already
have the same check.
The replacement was done with
git ls-files 'dts/bindings/*.yaml' | xargs sed -i \
-e 's/category:\s*required/required: true/' \
-e 's/category:\s*optional/required: false/'
dts/binding-template.yaml is updated as well.

Renaming bindings to consistently be called foo-controller.yaml for
controllers and foo-device.yaml for devices (last one mostly makes sense
for devices on buses and the like).
I was thinking of having a plain foo.yaml be the controller as well, but
!include interrupt.yaml
reads much worse than
!include interrupt-controller.yaml
Another advantage of this approach is that no binding changes meaning
(which could be risky). It's just adding suffixes to filenames.

In most cases #<FOO>-cells should be a constant. For example in spi
controller #address-cells should be 1, and #size-cells should be 0.
Use the const attribute to specify such single known values. Add const
value to missing bindings which have cells.

Introduce a clock.yaml that clock controller bindings should inherit
from. clock.yaml defines the properties "#clock-cells" which all
clock controllers should have.
