[PATCH v3 06/15] pylibfdt: Support copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() on Property

[Douglas Anderson]

`libfdt.Property` subclasses `bytearray` and has a two-argument
`__init__(self, name, value)` constructor. Because `bytearray`'s default
copy/reduce protocol passes only the raw byte buffer to the constructor
(and does not copy instance attributes), calling `copy.copy()` or
`copy.deepcopy()` on a `Property` fails with `TypeError:
Property.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'value'`.

Implement `__copy__()` and `__deepcopy__()` on `Property` so shallow and
deep copies preserve both `name` and the byte contents, and add a unit
test in `tests/pylibfdt_tests.py`.
