The change in https://code.launchpad.net/~mabac/linaro-image-tools/bug-638384-hwpackforceyes-unneeded/+merge/59371
makes hwpacks install with --force-yes if the options are passed and
the hwpack integrity is confirmed. So the --hwpack-sig option is
optional but now benefits the user when passed.

Supplying a signature file for the rootfs is still optional and will
abort the script if verification fails.
