The Zephyr configuration system uses many different files in many
different formats. It makes it a lot easier for users to understand
what these files do if when we use the correct file extensions.
To this end we rename the dts.fixup files to the correct file
extension '.h'.
This is a breaking change for out-of-tree fixup files. Such files will
be detected and given an appropriate error message.

Try to clarify the scope of Device Tree vs Kconfig in order to allow
Zephyr users to identify where a particular configuration option when
developing an application, board support or SoC support.

The NFFS partition at the end of flash is also useful for any other
file system or even the Flash Circular Buffer (FCB). Rename the
partition from 'nffs_partition' to 'storage_partition' and make it
depend on a new hidden Kconfig entry which the relevant users will
select (such as NFFS and FCB).

Add a reference to the MCUboot flash partition doc so we can link to it
from other documentation pages.

Re-work the flash partitions documentation:
- add sections to provide more complete context
- link to useful information on DT overlays elsewhere in the
documentation
- touch up some phrasing
- inline a smaller, self-contained example within the page rather than
linking to an entire board dts

This patch changes the manner in which we collect DTS overlay files so
that they comply with the same approach taken for configuration fragment
files (.conf).
Additionally it also documents the usage of those files in the
Application Developer Guide.

This documentation is needed for developers who are porting new boards.
Fixing #5577

Since we moved around where yaml, dts, and fixup files exist we need to
update the docs to reflect those changes. Also, try and make the docs
at little more generic to changes that are occuring.
