In Encryption we have two kinds of use case one is Encrypted Bitstream loading with Device-key and
Other one is Encrypted Bitstream loading with User-key. encrypted-fpga-config and encrypted-user-key-fpga-config 
are mutually exclusive. To differentiate both the use cases I have added this new flag and Aes Key file(encrypted-key-name)
is needed only for encrypted-user-key-fpga-config use cases.
