Mario Limonciello 834b28009d Add support for a delayed activation flow for Thunderbolt

This allows delaying the activation of Thunderbolt firmware until
shutdown/reboot or when the dock is unplugged.

This functionality requires features in the kernel:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20200622143035.25327-1-mario.limonciello@dell.com/T/#t

Matrix of cases to support:

* Distro Old Linux kernel (doesn't support authenticate on disconnect)

  - WD19TB: Should have `skips-restart` flag set
    No flush or activate features called in `thunderbolt` plugin.
    `dell_dock` plugin will activate at end of composite update

  - All other devices: Shouldn't have flags set
    Should authenticate in Thunderbolt plugin.
    `1 > nvm_authenticate`

* Distro New Linux kernel (supports authenticate on disconnect)

  - WD19TB: Should have `usable-during-update` flag set but not `skips-restart`
    Should flush image to SPI in `thunderbolt` plugin
    `2 > nvm_authenticate_on_disconnect`
    Should configure TBT device for authenticate on disconnect
    `1 > nvm_authenticate_on_disconnect`
    `dell_dock` plugin will configure dock for authenticate on disconnect

  - All other devices: Shouldn't have flags set
    Should authenticate in `thunderbolt` plugin.
    `1 > nvm_authenticate`

* ChromeOS (supports authenticate on disconnect)

  - `thunerbolt.conf` will have `DelayedActivation=true`.

  - WD19TB: Should have `usable-during-update` flag set but not `skips-restart`
    Should flush image to SPI in `thunderbolt` plugin
    `2 > nvm_authenticate_on_disconnect`
    Should configure device for authenticate on disconnect
    `1 > nvm_authenticate_on_disconnect`
    `dell_dock` plugin will configure dock for authenticate on disconnect

  - All other devices: Should have both `usable-during-update` and `skips-restart` set
    Should flush image to SPI in `thunderbolt` plugin
    `2 > nvm_authenticate`
    Will activate upon logout/shutdown/reboot
    `1 > nvm_authenticate`
