docs: dt: convert of_unittest.txt to ReST

- Add a SPDX header;
- Adjust document and section titles;
- Adjust numerated list markups;
- Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks;
- Mark literal blocks as such;
- Add it to devicetree/index.rst.

2. Test-data
============
The Device Tree Source file (drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases.dts) contains
the test data required for executing the unit tests automated in
drivers/of/unittest.c. Currently, following Device Tree Source Include files
(.dtsi) are included in testcases.dts:

is used to compile the DT source file (testcases.dts) into a binary blob
(testcases.dtb), also referred as flattened DT.
After that, using the following rule the binary blob above is wrapped as an
assembly file (testcases.dtb.S).

The assembly file is compiled into an object file (testcases.dtb.o), and is
linked into the kernel image.
2.1. Adding the test data
-------------------------
Un-flattened device tree structure:
Un-flattened device tree consists of connected device_node(s) in form of a tree
structure described below.
structure described below::
// following struct members are used to construct the tree
struct device_node {
...
struct device_node *parent;
struct device_node *child;
struct device_node *sibling;
...
};
// following struct members are used to construct the tree
struct device_node {
...
struct device_node *parent;
struct device_node *child;
struct device_node *sibling;
...
};
Figure 1, describes a generic structure of machine's un-flattened device tree
considering only child and sibling pointers. There exists another pointer,
*parent, that is used to traverse the tree in the reverse direction. So, at
``*parent``, that is used to traverse the tree in the reverse direction. So, at
a particular level the child node and all the sibling nodes will have a parent
pointer pointing to a common node (e.g. child1, sibling2, sibling3, sibling4's
parent points to root node)
parent points to root node)::

machine's device tree (if present). So, when selftest_data_add() is called,
at first it reads the flattened device tree data linked into the kernel image
