arm64: dts: qcom: msm8916: Reserve firmware memory dynamically

Most of the reserved firmware memory on MSM8916 can be relocated when
respecting the required alignment. To avoid having to precompute the
reserved memory regions in every board DT, describe the actual
requirements (size, alignment, alloc-ranges) using the dynamic reserved
memory allocation.

This approach has several advantages:

 1. We can define "templates" for the reserved memory regions in
    msm8916.dtsi and keep only device-specific details in the board DT.
    This is useful for the "mpss" region size for example, which varies
    from device to device. It is no longer necessary to redefine all
    firmware regions to shift their addresses.

 2. When some of the functionality (e.g. WCNSS, Modem, Venus) is not
    enabled or needed for a device, the reserved memory can stay
    disabled, freeing up the unused reservation for Linux.

 3. Devices with special requirements for one of the firmware regions
    are handled automatically. For example, msm8916-longcheer-l8150
    has non-relocatable "wcnss" firmware that must be loaded exactly
    at address 0x8b600000. When this is defined as a static region,
    the other dynamic allocations automatically adjust to a different
    place with suitable alignment.

All in all this approach significantly reduces the boilerplate necessary
to define the different firmware regions, and makes it easier to enable
functionality on the different devices.
