ref-manual: uboot-sign: Support firmware property in FIT config

Add documentation for the UBOOT_FIT_CONF_FIRMWARE variable, which allows
users to specify an image to be assigned to the "firmware" property of
the FIT configuration node. This explicitly defines the primary image
to boot, instead of relying on the first entry in the "loadables" list.
