Add authenticate-fpga-config property for FPGA bitstream authentication,
which makes sure a signed bitstream has valid signatures.

Signed-off-by: Richard Gong <richard.gong@intel.com>

v5: rewrite the description to highlight two things with
    authenticate-fpga-config flag
v4: explain authenticate-fpga-config flag further
v3: no change
v2: put authenticate-fpga-config above partial-fpga-config
    update commit messages
