Currently the BLS snippets are named ostree-$ID-$VARIANT_ID-$index.conf,
but the BLS config files are actually sorted by using the version field
which is the inverse of the index.
In most places, _ostree_sysroot_read_boot_loader_configs() is used to
get the BLS files and this function already returns them sorted by the
version field. The only place where the index trailing number is used is
in the ostree-grub-generator script that lists the BLS files to populate
the grub config file.
But for some bootloaders the BLS filename is the criteria for sorting by
taking the filename as a string version. So on these bootloaders the BLS
entries will be listed in the reverse order.
To avoid that, change the BLS snippets filename to have the version field
instead of the index and also to have the version before deployment name.
Make the filenames to be of the form ostree-$version-$ID-$VARIANT_ID.conf
so the version is before the deployment name.

Much like the (optional) initramfs at
`/usr/lib/ostree-boot/initramfs-<SHA256>` or
`/usr/lib/modules/$kver/initramfs` you can now optionally include a
flattened devicetree (.dtb) file alongside the kernel at
`/usr/lib/ostree-boot/devicetree-<SHA256>` or
`/usr/lib/modules/$kver/devicetree`.
This is useful for embedded ARM systems which need the devicetree file
loaded by the bootloader for the kernel to discover and initialise
hardware. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_tree for more
information.
This patch was mostly produced by copy-pasting code for initramfs handling
and renaming `s/initramfs/devicetree/g`. It's not beautiful, but it is
fairly straightforward.
It may be useful to extend device-tree support in a number ways in the
future. Device trees dependant on many details of the hardware they
support. This makes them unlike kernels, which may support many different
hardware variants as long as the instruction-set matches. This means that
a ostree tree created with a device-tree in this manner will only boot on
a single model of hardware. This is sufficient for my purposes, but may
not be for others'.
I've tested this on my NVidia Tegra TK1 device which has u-boot running
in syslinux-compatible mode.

Previously when initramfs-* was not found in a deployment's
boot directory, it was assumed that rootfs is prepared for
ostree booting by a kernel patch.
With this patch, the behaviour changes to be - if initramfs-*
is not found, assume that system is using a static
ostree-prepare-root as init process. Booting without initramfs
is a common use case on embedded systems. This approach is
also more convenient, than having to patch the kernel.
