[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH] configure: Check for libfdt version 1.4.0

[Thomas Huth]

Some recent patches require functions from libfdt version 1.4.0,
so we should check for this version during the configure step
already. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a proper #define
for the version number in the libfdt headers. So alternatively, we
check for the availability of the fdtXX_t types instead which have
just been introduced with version 1.4.0.
