[nrf noup] boot/bootutil/loader: image discovery by ih_load_address

nrf-squash! [nrf noup] treewide: Add support for sysbuild assigned images

Introduce alternative procedure for detecting to which partition
image candidate belongs. This method uses ih_load_address field of the
image header instead of reset vector address. This allows to match
incoming image to the partition even when it is for instance encrypted,
as the image header is always plain-text.

This new procedure can be enabled using
CONFIG_MCUBOOT_USE_CHECK_LOAD_ADDR=y. Firmware need to be signed with
imgtool.py sign --rom-fixed <partition_address> parameter.
