We forgot to include FwupdClientDownloadFlags when adding the original method
fwupd_client_install_release() -- and we want to use additional download flags
for operations in the future.
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.
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.
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.
