Doing this unconditionally means we accidentally 'bleed' one device mode into
another in a non-obvious way. For instance, a device might have two operating
modes with different GUIDs. If firmware is supplied for both modes in the same
cabinet archive then we might accidentally match the 'wrong' firmware when
the daemon has observed a mode switch and added the counterpart GUIDs.
We only really need the counterpart GUIDs when switching between Jabra, 8bitdo
and DFU devices where the DFU bootloader VID:PID is not manually tagged with
`CounterpartGuid` in a quirk file. In the general case lets keep it simple to
avoid difficult to find bugs.
If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.
Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.
Some plugins have devices with more than one protocol. Logically the protocol
belongs to the device, not the plugin, and in the future we could use this to
further check firmware that's about to be deployed.
This is also not exported into libfwupd (yet?) as it's remains a debug-feature
only -- protocols are not actually required for devices to be added.
Set `IS_BOOTLOADER` unconditionally when in fastboot mode. This seems logically
what it is; a degraded mode that's able to update firmware without runtime
functionality.

In many plugins we've wanted to use ->prepare_firmware() to parse the firmware
ahead of ->detach() and ->write_firmware() but this has the limitation that it
can only return a single blob of data.
For many devices, multiple binary blobs are required from one parsed image,
for instance providing signatures, config and data blobs that have to be pushed
to the device in different way.
This also means we parse the firmware *before* we ask the user to detach.
Break the internal FuDevice API to support these firmware types as they become
more popular.
This also allows us to move the Intel HEX and SREC parsing out of the dfu plugin
as they are used by a few plugins now, and resolving symbols between plugins
isn't exactly awesome.
A device that has gone through a fastboot update may need more than
the previous default of 10s to come back up. Just use a much longer
value to make sure it's detected properly.

Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to
use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols,
namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS
namespace.
This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol,
for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock.
