The "return error and hope the client resubmits the firmware again"
pattern is clunky. There are two plugins doing this now, and about to
be one more.
This adds FwupdRequest which provides a structured way of asking the
user to perform an action, e.g. to replug the device or to press a
special key or button.
This replaces much of the UpdateMessage and UpdateImage API although
it is still used internally. Clients capable of processing the new
DeviceRequest signal should add REQUESTS to their feature flags.
Also, this allows us go back to the old meaning of _NEEDS_BOOTLOADER,
which was "needs rebooting into a bootloader mode" rather than the
slightly weird "user needs to do something and resubmit request".
The move to query sysattr for the name inadvertly changed the extent of
devices accepted by emmc probe. udev rules setup ID_NAME only for main
block device, but not for rpmb or boot, while 'name' sysattr is present
for all of them for they point to the same parent. The original check
for name was brittle either way and relied on a side effect of udev
subsystem. This CL introdues a proper filtering check that picks up only
the main devices. That is important because an attempt to perfrom an
update not on the main device returns a cryptic timeout error.

At this point it has to be present, but better have the check for
correctness sake.

/run/udev/data/b* location of eMMC devices appears to be inaccessible
early on in the boot process which makes fwupd to skip eMMC devices if
the daemon started too early. ID_NAME udev attribute is effectively
copied from the sysfs attribute [1], thus making use of it is more
reliable.

There are now multiple plugins using drm_dp_aux_dev interface which
may potentially be combined with an amdgpu. Prevent exercising this
interface with any plugin using DP aux unless a new enough kernel is
installed.
Add the mbim-qdu support for firmware downloading, it will be used for T99W175 module of Foxconn.

This plugin uses the `thinklmi` kernel module from kernel 5.14 to
inhibit device updates for UEFI capsules when Boot Order Lock
is set.
Users will need to use `thinklmi` or BIOS setup to change the setting.
