M2354: Change MCUboot image versioning for unique version

Change MCUboot image versioning to meet requirements below:
1. Major.Minor.Revision must be non-decremental when used to derive security counter (-s 'auto').
2. Make Major.Minor.Revision+Build incremental to identify the firmware itself through psa_fwu_query().
3. Get around MCUboot failure with TF-M underestimated MAX_BOOT_RECORD_SZ
