feat(bootloader_support): Encrypt only the app image instead of the whole partition

Currently, when flash encryption is enabled, the whole partition gets encrypted.
This can be optimised by encrypting only the app image instead of encrypting the whole partition.

Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/12576

If set, optimise encryption time for the partition of type APP,
by only encrypting the app image that is present in the partition,
instead of the whole partition.
The image length used for encryption is derived from the image metadata, which
includes the size of the app image, checksum, hash and also the signature sector
when secure boot is enabled.
If not set (default), the whole partition of type APP would be encrypted,
which increases the encryption time but might be useful if there
is any custom data appended to the firmware image.
