[PATCH v6 02/12] FIT: fit_open_configuration: add match function support

The FIT spec is not very specific and was growing over the past years,
e.g. according U-Boot (doc/usage/fit/source_file_format.rst) either a
"kernel" or "firmware" property is mandatory whereas the fit-overlay
example (doc/usage/fit/overlay-fdt-boot.rst) doesn't fulfil this
requirement. Instead it allows nodes which contain only a "fdt"
property.

This inconsistency makes it hard to detect the purpose of a
configuration node. So far we have three different configuration nodes

- bootable nodes (the usual use-case):

|	config-0 {
|		compatible = "machine-compatible";
|		kernel = "kernel-img-name";
|		fdt = "fdt-img-name";
|	}

- firmware only nodes like (doc/usage/fit/sec_firmware_ppa.rst):

|	config-1 {
|		description = "PPA Secure firmware";
|		firmware = "firmware at 1";
|		loadables = "trustedOS at 1", "fuse_scr";
|	};

- overlay only nodes:

|	config-2 {
|		fdt = "fdt-overlay-img-name";
|	}

This commit adds an optional match function which can be passed to the
fit_open_configuration() to sort out config nodes which are not
interessting, e.g. the bootm code is only interested in config nodes
which do provide a "kernel" image.

This new match function gets called if no explicit configuration node
name was specified.
