scripts: dts: optimize gen_driver_kconfig_dts.py

Replace yaml.compose() with a faster event-stream parser that extracts
the first top-level "compatible" scalar without constructing the full
YAML node tree.

This reduces per-file parsing overhead when iterating over thousands of
binding files. Binding files are now opened in binary mode and passed
directly to SafeLoader/CSafeLoader.

Benchmark (Windows, Python 3.12, 2913 bindings):
- before: 874ms, 641862 function calls
- after:  603ms, 188557 function calls

Half of the time is spent opening and closing files, which is quite a
bit faster on Linux.
