The devm alloc functions that we have may follow the Linux kernel model
where allocations are (almost always) automatically free()'d. However,
quite often we don't enable, in full U-Boot, the tracking and free()'ing
functionality. This in turn leads to memory leaks because the driver
author expects that since the functions have the same name as in the
Linux Kernel they have the same behavior. In turn we then get
functionally correct commits such as commit 00e1fed93c8c ("firmware:
ti_sci: Fix memory leaks in devm_ti_sci_get_of_resource") that manually
add these calls. Rather than manually tracking allocations and
implementing free()s, rework things so that we follow expectations by
enabling the DEVRES functionality (outside of xPL phases).
This turns DEVRES from a prompted symbol to a symbol that must be
select'd, and we now remove our non-managed alloc/free functions from
outside of xPL builds.

At present if devres is enabled in U-Boot proper it is enabled in SPL.
We don't normally want it there, so disable it.

Correct Sphinx style comments in include/dm/devres.h
and add the driver model device resource API, devres_*(),
to the HTML documentation.

At present devres.h is included in all files that include dm.h but few
make use of it. Also this pulls in linux/compat which adds several more
headers. Drop the automatic inclusion and require files to include devres
themselves. This provides a good indication of which files use devres.

The devres functionality has very few users in U-Boot, but it still should
have tests. Add a few basic tests of the main functions.

At present these functions are lumped in with the core device functions.
They have their own #ifdef to control their availability, so it seems
better to split them out.
Move them into their own header file.
