This is useful for ostree log on client side where often not the
full history of a branch is available. It is also helpful for
ostree show to show if a particular commit has a parent.
Align with --from-file and use 'FILE' instead of 'PATH' as option
argument string. No functional change, this is only cosmetics.

Add support for a devicetree directory at /usr/lib/modules/$kver/dtb/.
In ARM world a general purpose distribution often suppports multiple
boards with a single operating system. However, OSTree currently only
supports a single device tree, which does not allow to use the same
OSTree on different ARM machines. In this scenario typically the boot
loader selects the effective device tree.
This adds device tree directory support for the new boot artefact
location under /usr/lib/modules. If the file `devicetree` does not
exist, then the folder dtb will be checked. All devicetrees are hashed
into the deployment hash. This makes sure that even a single devicetree
change leads to a new deployment and hence can be rolled back.
The loader configuration has a new key "devicetreepath" which contains
the path where devicetrees are stored. This is also written to the
U-Boot variable "fdtdir". The boot loader is expected to use this path
to load a particular machines device tree from.
Closes: #1900

Clarify where metadata are stored exactly in the `bare-user` case.
Make the first sentence of `bare-user` and `bare-user-only` paragraph
symetric to make it easier to jump to the right paragraph for readers
in a hury. Stree out that `bare-user-only` may loose metadata.

Extend the object type documentation with file endings used for the
individual type. Also clarify in which situation content type objects
are used and why they do not match the SHA256 hash today.

Today `archive-z2` is still used as the default string to indicate
a `archive` type repository. Make clear that this is the way it is
intended. Otherwise users might think they use an no longer supported
OSTree repository since the mode string is still `archive-z2`.
