Aditya Patwardhan b0f4c604ee feat(bootloader_support, esp_image_verify): add monitor hints for security errors
Secure Boot, flash encryption and image-integrity failures print an error and
stop, with no indication of the cause or the next step. Add hints.yml to the two
components that emit those messages so idf.py monitor annotates them inline.

The hints live with the components that own the messages rather than in the
global tools/idf_py_actions/hints.yml, matching the existing per-component
hints.yml convention.

Bootloader Support Component
============================

Overview
--------

"Bootloader support" contains APIs which are used by the bootloader but are also needed for the main app.

Code in this component needs to be aware of being executed in a bootloader environment (no RTOS available, BOOTLOADER_BUILD macro set) or in an esp-idf app environment (RTOS running, need locking support.)
