As suffixes do not make sense for sPAPR's device tree and
there is no way to filter them out on the BusState::get_fw_dev_path
level, let's add an ability for the external caller to specify
whether to apply suffixes or not.

We could handle suffixes in SLOF (ignore for now) but this would require
serious rework in the node opening code in SLOF which has no obvious
benefit for the currently emulated sPAPR machine.

For the record, the commit message is not entirely correct in presenting
the situation.  QEMU *does not care in any way* of benefits for the
currently emulated sPAPR machine.  The benefit would be to QEMU in having
simpler code.

You just got a wildcard because Forth is scary. :)

I know :) Should I remove that part and replace it with the "scary" one?

No, unless you have to respin for other reasons (I hope not).
