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@xxxxxxxxx>

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

This property is optional if the FPGA Manager handles the bridges.
If the fpga-region is the child of a fpga-bridge, the list should not
contain the parent bridge.
