[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] fit signature: Add fallback of required keys

Validation of fit image configuration signatures does not seem to do a
"fall-back" mechanism as mentioned in doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt.

The current constraints seem to only allow the following:

- skipping keys not marked "required" (not attempting to validate
  with them at all)
- checking a key marked required, but if it does not pass the validation
  entirely fails (no fall-back)

This patch keeps the non-required mechanism, however changes the
required key logic to check all keys until a key that can validate the
configuration is found. If none is found, an error is raised as before
and boot is halted.
