thunderbolt: Add support for authenticate on disconnect
Some external devices can support completing thunderbolt authentication when they are unplugged. For this to work though, the link controller must remain operational. The only device known to support this right now is the Dell WD19TB, so add a quirk for this.

+Description: For supported devices, automatically authenticate the new Thunderbolt
+ image when the device is disconnected from the host system.
+
+ This file will accept writing values "1" or "2"
+ - Writing "1" will flush the image to the storage
+ area and prepare the device for authentication on disconnect.
+ - Writing "2" will run some basic validation on the image
+ and flush it to the storage area.
