Currently if there is an invalid boot entry for firmware update, the fwupd
EFI program will not call UpdateCapsule(), even if there is a valid entry.
For example, if the following entries exist the firmware update will fail:
HD(1,GPT,A672BBCA-325E-4D6F-91E1-DD57FAA85A9C)/\EFI\rhel\fw\fwupdate-6cialq.cap ... /*Valid entry*/
HD(1,GPT,E8176B29-6F73-43F2-AE8E-05E09DE20EE5)/\EFI\fedora\fw\fwupd-6dcbd5ed-e82d-4c44-bda1-7194199ad92a.cap ... /*InValid entry*/
Ensure capsule update is happening even if a valid capsule entry exists.

Deleting boot entries from EFI sometimes triggers problems on some firmware.
We don't actually need to do it from the EFI binary, and it's perfectly safe to
leave it in the boot list. It also means when doing multiple updates over
several months we're not creating, deleting, creating, deleting and can just
re-use the same BootXXXX number each time.
It also makes the EFI binary simpler, which is good.
At the moment fwupd creates a BootXXXX for fwupd.efi and marks it BootNext.
It *also* adds it to the end of BootOrder to work around various old firmware
bugs like https://github.com/rhboot/fwupdate/issues/55 which we can perhaps
drop sometime thie century.
Remove the rewriting of BootOrder from the EFI binary; we've accidentally not
been doing it for a long time and nothing broke, and I'd like to make the EFI
binary as small and simple as possible. The user can remove the entry from the
BIOS or using efibootmgr if required, but it's harmless to just leave it.
This reverts commit 44f55e2ee6.
This behavior caused fwupdx64.efi to loop for a very long time until
either aborting, running out of memory or some other problems.
Fixes: #1756Fixes: #1751
UEFI runtime service GetVariable with DataSize NULL, will fail and get
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER returned. Set DataSize 0 and allocate the buffer for
getting attributes for the deleted variable.
Also, fix the real reason Boot#### was never found.
This was caught by LGTM.
This pointer might have type struct <unnamed> (size 28), but the
pointer arithmetic here is done with type UX_CAPSULE_HEADER * (size 16).
1) Drop the path at the end of the title (\fwupdx64.efi)
2) Linux-Firmware-Updater to Linux Firmware Updater
The behavior that required the hacky name has been fixed since shim 10
which is in all the relevant distros now.
