Remove the dummy devices created for NVM and MST, these will
be created by other plugins. Other plugins will however
be using the Dell methods to enable these devices.
This functionality is required so that AppStream metadata can check the fwupd
version, the firmware version, bootloader version or a combination of all three.
This allows us to have new markup specified in the MetaInfo or AppStream XML:
<requires>
<id compare="ge" version="0.8.1">org.freedesktop.fwupd</id>
<firmware compare="ge" version="0.1.2"/>
</requires>
This means that only updates that match these versions will be shown.

The user will not be notified about firmware security updates all the time they
are on battery power. It's better to handle this in the client prompting the
user to connect the AC power source.
This is a large commit that removes all the providers and turns them into
plugins. I think having both providers _and_ plugins was super confusing.
Plugins are loaded at runtime so you could in theory develop a new plugin
without putting it in the fwupd source tree, although there are no installed
headers or PC files as I'm not sure it's a good idea at this stage.
This commit moves all the per-provider docs, tests, notes, debug dumps and test
data to plugin-specific directories -- these also allows the plugin author to
"own" more of the source tree so we don't enforce fu- prefixes and the style
guide everywhere.
This allows us to run the same action on all the plugins in the future, so we
could have a prepare(FuPlugin, FuDevice) and cleanup(FuPlugin, FuDevice) run
on *all* plugins, so doing an update using one plugin would allow us to work
around hardware quirks in other plugins.
If I've broken your out-of-tree provider it's trivial to port to the new API
with sed and a fixed up build file. If you need help please let me know.
This means we don't have more that one thread just watching for the USB
hotplug events. To achieve this split up the coldplug into setup and coldplug
phases and run the enumerate just once in the daemon.
ifdef cannot be used to determine if a C symbol is defined, as it’s
evaluated by the preprocessor, before symbols are parsed. Instead, try
to detect whether polkit.h is suitably recent enough to define its own
auto-cleanup functions.
