of: Warn when of_property_read_bool() is used on non-boolean properties

Browse source 
The use of of_property_read_bool() for non-boolean properties is
deprecated. The primary use of it was to test property presence, but
that has been replaced in favor of of_property_present(). With those
uses now fixed, add a warning to discourage new ones.
