scripts/common: Introduce phandle_next and get_next_phandle()

When dealing with device trees, we need to have a solution to add
custom phandles to the nodes we create/modify. Add a global variable
phandle_next to act as a countdown counter starting with the highest
valid phandle value 0xfffffffe. Add a new function get_next_phandle
to get a value of the next available phandle and set it to a variable
whose name is passed as a first argument. The global counter will be
decremented with each call to this function.
