Add Kconfig option to lock/unlock ME firmware during build
For reasons of security and testing we want to be able to enable/disable ME section locking through a config option.

+ The Intel Management Engine supports preventing write accesses
+ from the host to the Management Engine section in the firmware
+ descriptor. If the ME section is locked, it can only be overwritten
+ with an external SPI flash programmer. You will want this if you
+ want to increase security of your ROM image once you are sure
+ that the ME firmware is no longer going to change.

+ If unsure, say N.
