[RFC PATCH v2 7/8] FWU: synquacer: Initialize broken metadata

Since the FWU metadata is not initialized at the installation,
if it is broken, it should be initialized. Usually, the FWU
metadata is not covered by capsule update, so it is safe to
initialize the metadata portion if it seems broken.

But for the production device, usually firmware will be installed
with initialized metadata, and the broken metadata means the
device can be compromized. In that case, build U-Boot without
this option.

+	  Initialize FWU metadata if the metadata is broken.
+	  This option is only for the development environment, since if the
+	  metadata is broken, it means someone may compromize it. In that case
