thunderbolt: Add support for separating the flush to SPI and authenticate
This allows userspace to have a shorter period of time that the device
is unusable and to call it at a more convenient time.
For example flushing the image may happen while the user is using the
machine and authenticating/rebooting may happen while logging out.
