Try to allocate dynamic reserved memory regions with "alloc-ranges" 
close to other static regions by choosing between allocating them 
bottom-up or top-down. This keeps the reserved memory regions closer 
together rather than potentially having them spread all over the RAM.

Also make the allocation order of dynamic reserved memory regions 
deterministic so it doesn't change randomly when adding unrelated 
reserved memory regions.

Changes in v2:
- Drop explicit "allocate-bottom-up"/"allocate-top-down" properties
  Instead, try to guess in the implementation based on the already 
  available information in the DT. (Rob)
- Drop examples that were just included to show the motivation.
  They are still available on v1 if needed.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230510-dt-resv-bottom-up-v1-0-3bf68873dbed@gerhold.net
