Kill bogus TYPE_BLOB marker type

Since commit 32b9c6130762 "Preserve datatype markers when emitting dts
format", we no longer try to guess the value type. Instead, we reuse
the type of the datatype markers when they are present, if the type
is either TYPE_UINT* or TYPE_STRING.

This causes 'dtc -I fs' to crash:

Starting program: /root/dtc -q -f -O dts -I fs /proc/device-tree
/dts-v1/;

/ {

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The offending line is:

                fprintf(f, "%s", delim_start[emit_type]);

where emit_type is TYPE_BLOB and:

static const char *delim_start[] = {
        [TYPE_UINT8] = "[",
        [TYPE_UINT16] = "/bits/ 16 <",
        [TYPE_UINT32] = "<",
        [TYPE_UINT64] = "/bits/ 64 <",
        [TYPE_STRING] = "",
};

/* Data blobs */
enum markertype {
        TYPE_NONE,
        REF_PHANDLE,
        REF_PATH,
        LABEL,
        TYPE_UINT8,
        TYPE_UINT16,
        TYPE_UINT32,
        TYPE_UINT64,
        TYPE_BLOB,
        TYPE_STRING,
};

Because TYPE_BLOB < TYPE_STRING and delim_start[] is a static array,
delim_start[emit_type] is 0x0. The glibc usually prints out "(null)"
when one passes 0x0 to %s, but it seems to call fputs() internally if
the format is exactly "%s", hence the crash.

TYPE_BLOB basically means the data comes from a file and we don't know
its type. We don't care for the former, and the latter is TYPE_NONE.

So let's drop TYPE_BLOB completely and use TYPE_NONE instead when reading
the file. Then, try to guess the data type at emission time, like the
code already does for refs and labels.

Instead of adding yet another check for TYPE_NONE, an helper is introduced
to check if the data marker has type information, ie, >= TYPE_UINT8.
