Step 5 of fitimage_assemble() creates a series of configurations
for each kernel DTB referenced in the fitimage.  These
configurations are usually used as bootm parameters to alias items
like the kernel and ramdisk, etc.  The conf@ entries are also used
when generating signature data for verified boot.

Boards without kernel DTBs in the fitimage skip this step and no
conf@ entries are generated.  This presents a problem if the u-boot
scripts still wish to use the conf@ references for the kernel and
ramdisk.

Examples of this would be using QEMU ARM64 or RISC-V based .WIC
images with a vfat boot partition and ext4 rootfs.  The fitImage
is stored in the boot partition similar to other actual HW.
However, without the conf@ entry the boot scripts still need to
use kernel@1 and ramdisk@1 hard-coded references.

Also, a u-boot patch is currently being tested which adds signing
/ verified boot functionality for HW which doesn't use appended
u-boot DTBs.  IE: QEMU uses prior stage hand-off and Raspberry
Pi 3 uses an embedded DTB, etc.  By having the conf@ entry in the
fitImage, the entire OE signing process "just works" for testing
this new setup.
