libfdt: Add function to explicitly expand aliases

Kumar has already added alias expansion to fdt_path_offset().
However, in some circumstances it may be convenient for the user of
libfdt to explicitly get the string expansion of an alias.  This patch
adds a function to do this, fdt_get_alias(), and uses it to implement
fdt_path_offset().
