When rproc drivers are built-in the async firmware load done by rproc_add()
can fail due to the firmware not being present. Subsqeuent calls to
rproc_fw_boot() then fail, even though by this point firmware has been
successfully obtained.

This patch changes the behaviour to re-execute rproc_fw_config_virtio()
in rproc_fw_boot() if it has previously failed, and we are sure it is
now available.

It's probably better to "hold that thought" on this patch, since we're
going to make resource tables optional.  I'm keen to tackle this
issue, but need to work a few other things before doing so.

Current task list:
 - Amend/supply new resource table from platform-specific drivers
 - Make resource tables optional
 - Obtain firmwares from the root file system
 - Lots more here including; co-proc DT support, co-proc console, etc
