This allows creating the silo when starting the engine with custom
plugin keys such as WacomI2cFlashBaseAddr.
If we move the plugin initialization earlier then we don't get the
HwID matches, so we really do have to split this into a 4-stage startup,
e.g. ->load(), ->init(), ->startup() and ->coldplug().
tristate features will automatically disable if dependencies marked
as required are missing.
Packagers can manually override using `auto_features`.

We were calling g_module_symbol() 2703 times, which is actually more
expensive than you'd think.
It also means the plugins are actually what we tell people they are:
A set of vfuncs that get run. The reality before that they were dlsym'd
functions that get called at pretty random times.
This allows us to override the location we load data files from, which
allows us to do more kinds of installed tests in the future.
Also, move the global data/tests content into the place that it is used
as it was getting impossible to manage.
Note that g_assert() should not be used in unit tests, since it is a
no-op when compiling with G_DISABLE_ASSERT. Use g_assert() in production
code, and g_assert_true() in unit tests.

Since commit 078beaf, device de-duplication between plugins doesn't
work anymore. Both the TPM and Dell plugin create a device with an
identical physical ID and no logical ID. This makes the device list
think whichever plugin probes second is just updating the first.
To avoid this problem, set a logical ID in the Dell plugin, ensuring
that the device ID built from physical + logical is different from the
TPM plugin.
The side effect of this is that both devices will export into the device
list, but the TPM plugin's devices will not be upgradable.
It's actually quite hard to build a front-end for fwupd at the moment
as you're never sure when the progress bar is going to zip back to 0%
and start all over again. Some plugins go 0..100% for write, others
go 0..100% for erase, then again for write, then *again* for verify.
By creating a helper object we can easily split up the progress of the
specific task, e.g. write_firmware().
We can encode at the plugin level "the erase takes 50% of the time, the
write takes 40% and the read takes 10%". This means we can have a
progressbar which goes up just once at a consistent speed.
More than one person has asked about 'why call fu_plugin_update() for a
reinstall or downgrade' and I didn't have a very good answer.
The plugin API is not officially stable, and we should fix things to be
less confusing. Use the same verbs as the FuDevice vfuncs instead.
There is a lot of code in fwupd that just assigns a shared object type to
a FuPlugin, and then for each device on that plugin assigns that same shared
object to each FuDevice.
Rather than proxy several kinds of information stores over two different levels
of abstraction create a 'context' which contains the shared *system* state
between the daemon, the plugins and the daemon.
This will allow us to hold other per-machine state in the future, for instance
the system battery level or AC state.
The best way of not getting something wrong is to not require it in the first
place...
All plugins now use DeviceInstanceId-style quirk matches and we can just drop
the prefix in all files. We were treating HwId=, Guid= and DeviceInstanceId= in
exactly the same way -- they're just converted to GUIDs when building the silo!
There are now two 'backends' of device plug/unplug events, and there is about
to become three. Rather than just adding two more vfuncs for every backend type
define common ones that all providers can use.
Also fix up the existing in-tree plugins to use the new vfunc names and filter
on the correct GType.
When this is done, include:
* Including the hash
* Including anything that is not ABI stable in plugins yet

The end year is legally and functionally redundant, and more importantly causes
cherry-pick conflicts when trying to maintain old branches. Use git for history.
Asking the user for the UID mapping isn't working very well, as it requires lots
of manual handholding. It also doesn't work very well when the device vendor
does not actually have a PCI ID or if the vendor has split into two entities.
Just use the OUI address as an additional VendorID and match any of the device
IDs against any of the metadata-supplied values.
For instance, we can tell the user that UEFI UpdateCapsule is disabled in the
system firmware, or that efivarfs is not mounted. This is much better than
creating "dummy" devices which are really just hacks around the problem because
no better API existed. THe dummy devices cause as many problems as they solve.
Plugins have to set FWUPD_PLUGIN_FLAG_USER_WARNING if a warning should be shown
to the user, and only one warning will be shown of each failure type.
It is expected that GUI clients like gnome-software and gnome-firmware would use
this API to notify the user the localized message for why firmware updates are
not being shown.

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.
Dell does not include the first byte in the ESRT value, ignoring it. Using a
`quad` means we get versions like `0.1.4.0` rather than `1.4.0` which confuses
both users comparing versions to the vendor website, and also anyone trying to
do analysis on the firmware.
