sconfig: Emit device structure pointers if alias names are provided
This change uses _dev_${ALIAS_NAME} as the name for `struct device` if
the device has an alias. In addition to that, it emits
_dev_${ALIAS_NAME}_ptr which points to the device structure. This
allows developers to directly reference a particular device in the tree
using alias name without having to walk the entire path. In later CLs,
mainboards are transitioned to use this newly emitted device structure
pointers.
