Can you follow the pattern of the other FIT_ options by making this
depends on FIT_SIGNATURE?

Shouldn't we always get this from linux/compiler.h?

reading through this it's quite confusing.

We have IMAGE_ENABLE_VERIFY, a compile time constant that will be true
if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is enabled.

We're adding a function that will override this.

So we could have a function:

__weak bool fit_enable_verification(void)
{
   return IMAGE_ENABLE_VERIFY;
}

The downside of this would be if a board were to implement this but
not have FIT_SIGNATURE enabled then they could return true when they
shouldn't. You could go back to this:

static bool fit_enable_verification(void)
{
   return IMAGE_ENABLE_VERIFY && board_fit_image_require_verified();
}

And drop the ifdefs from image.h
