56fcdd2776 libfwupd: Add fwupd_client_download_file()
I'm porting gnome-software to use this new API and this would be a very useful
thing to provide. No async API as we want to avoid writing temp files in most
cases -- this is just for legacy apps.

7bcb8d4385 Export FwupdPlugin so we can convey enumerated system errors to the end user
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.

Fixes https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/2456

7c8a830659 libfwupd: Add async versions of the library for GUI tools
Rather than force the GUI to interact with fwupd using threads, provide
async versions so thay can be run without blocking the UI thread.
