scripts: dts: extract pickled EDT generation

Separate the pickled EDT generation from the C-Macro header
generation in gen_defines.py to have a more clear responsibility
of the scripts in the DTS parsing process.

+# This script uses edtlib to generate a pickled edt from a devicetree
+# (.dts) file. Information from binding files in YAML format is used
+# as well.
+#
+# Bindings are files that describe devicetree nodes. Devicetree nodes are
+# usually mapped to bindings via their 'compatible = "..."' property.
+#
+# See Zephyr's Devicetree user guide for details.
+#
+# Note: Do not access private (_-prefixed) identifiers from edtlib here (and
+# also note that edtlib is not meant to expose the dtlib API directly).
+# Instead, think of what API you need, and add it as a public documented API in
+# edtlib. This will keep this script simple.
