Silicon/SynQuacerPlatformFlashAccessLib: relax FV address check
In commit 913fdda9 ("Silicon/SynQuacerPlatformFlashAccessLib: don't dereference FVB header fields"), we dropped all accesses to FVB header field, which was necessary because the flash partition may not in fact contain such a header. Instead, only an exact match on the base address of the FV compared to the base address of the capsule payload would result in a match, making it difficult to create capsules that only update a subset of the flash contents. Given that the FVB protocol provides a GetBlockSize() method that also returns the number of consecutive blocks of that size, and does not rely on the FVB header contents, we can actually infer the size of the flash partition, and use it to decide whether a capsule payload targets an area that is covered by this partition entirely. This optimization allows us to extend the FV description to include the SCP firmware partition without requiring us to actually provide a payload for that partition immediately, which is useful as a preparatory step.
