Flatten FinalBlockId

Description
Currently FinalBlockId is defined as a TLV that contains another name component TLV.
If there is no other purpose for it, FinalBlockId itself should be the name component TLV.

One issue is: it's less expressive.
Compare these:
<MetaInfo> <MetaInfo>
<ContentType>BLOB</ContentType> <ContentType>BLOB</ContentType>
<FinalBlockId><NameComponent>%00%09</NameComponent></FinalBlockId> <NameComponent>%00%09</NameComponent>
</MetaInfo> </MetaInfo>
It's obscure what NameComponent means.

The example above should be
<FinalBlockId>%00%09</FinalBlockId>
Is there a reason why FinalBlockID is not a boolean besides the fact that one cannot specify it before the final block?

There are multiple name component types: generic NameComponent, ImplicitSha256DigestComponent, and MarkedComponent (#2012).
All types except ImplicitSha256DigestComponent can appear in FinalBlockId.
The proposed format is ambiguous because type is lost.

FinalBlockId SHOULD appear in the last segment, and MAY appear in other segments to give consumer an early warning.
