rpi5_dtb.c: wire fdt.c's node-scoped lookup into the Pi 5 UART/mailbox addresses

New include/starkernel/rpi5_dtb.h / src/starkernel/arch/aarch64/rpi5_dtb.c:
rpi5_uart_base()/rpi5_mailbox_base(), each finding their peripheral by
compatible string ("arm,pl011" / "brcm,bcm2835-mbox") via fdt_find_node_by_
compatible() then reading its "reg" via fdt_find_prop_in_node().

Found and fixed a real translation gap before it could have silently
produced a wrong address: confirmed directly against bcm2712.dtsi
(raspberrypi/linux) that both peripherals live under one "soc"
simple-bus node whose ranges property adds a fixed 0x10_0000_0000
offset to every child reg value. fdt.c's reader deliberately doesn't
apply ranges translation generally (not a general devicetree
library); this file applies that one, fixed, SoC-wide offset
explicitly, documented with the exact devicetree excerpt that
confirmed it.

Compile-only verification -- no caller wired in yet, these two
functions are what the still-open entry-stub and mailbox-framebuffer-
driver punch-list items will call. Verified 3-arch boot to ok>
(amd64/aarch64/riscv64, each in the foreground; rpi5_dtb.o confirmed
built on aarch64, the only arch that compiles this file).

/**
* rpi5_dtb.h - Raspberry Pi 5 (BCM2712) devicetree-based peripheral
* discovery, for the native (non-UEFI) boot path (FABRIC-3.md §IV.3).
*
* Two lookups: the PL011 UART (early console) and the VideoCore mailbox
* property interface (framebuffer setup, §IV.3 item 3). Both peripherals
* live under BCM2712's own devicetree "soc" simple-bus node, which
* applies one fixed address translation to every child `reg` value —
* see `rpi5_dtb.c`'s own doc comment for the confirmed offset and where
* it was verified. `fdt.c`'s reader deliberately does not do general
* `ranges`-property translation (it is "not a general devicetree
* library"); this file applies the one, fixed, SoC-wide offset by name
* instead of teaching `fdt.c` a general mechanism for a single known
* hardware fact.
