[v2 1/3] xsm: optimize policy loading

["Daniel P. Smith" <dpsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is possible to select a few different build configurations that results in
the unnecessary walking of the boot module list looking for a policy module.
This specifically occurs when the flask policy is enabled but either the dummy
or the SILO policy is selected as the enforcing policy. This is not ideal for
configurations like hyperlaunch and dom0less when there could be a number of
modules to be walked or unnecessary device tree lookups

This patch introduces the policy_file_required flag for tracking when an XSM
policy module requires a policy file. Only when the policy_file_required flag
is set to true will XSM search the boot modules for a policy file.
