On Alterlake and newer hardware the Platform Health Assessment Record
data can be used by the IHV to debug why a specific capsule update
failed. Any custom firmware loaded by the OEM can be identified and
used to further debug the root cause.
This prevents problems when cross compiling. Using help2man is now also of
limited use; if we can just tell the user to use --help we do not need to keep
the manual in sync.
It also allows us to drop the several other supporting files that we use when
the help2man output isn't actually that useful.

Commit 13524af202 broke the ABI checker.
This is because it runs on the last released version, which still has
a dependency on python3-pil.
This commit can be dropped after the 1.6.x release.
Keeping *internal* API and ABI compatibility makes working with an already
complex codebase more mentally demanding than it needs to be.
Remember: plugins should be in-tree and upstream! If your out of tree plugin
stops working then it should be upstream.
The public-facing libfwupd will remain API and ABI stable for obvious reasons.
This patch is adding the fwupd wrapper for Qubes.
The wrapper provides fwupd functionalities for Qubes R4.1.
It creates three packages (two RPMs and one Debian package):
fwupd-qubes-dom0 (RPM)
fwupd-qubes-vm (RPM)
fwupd-qubes-vm-whonix (deb)
More information about the wrapper could be found in the
contrib/qubes/README.md

It is far too easy to forget to set FWUPD_DEVICE_FLAG_NO_GUID_MATCHING for new
plugins, and without it it all works really well *until* a user has two devices
of the same type installed at the same time and then one 'disappears' for hard
to explain reasons. Typically we only need it for replug anyway!
Explicitly opt-in to this rarely-required behaviour, with the default to just
use the physical and logical IDs. Also document the update behavior for each
plugin to explain why the flag is being used.
This allows you to have two identical Unifying plugged in without one of them
being hidden from the user, at the same time allowing a HIDRAW<->USB transition
when going to and from bootloader and runtime modes.
This removes the workaround added in 99eb3f06b6.

Also split out the firmware parsing to an object so we can check the firmware
using firmware-parse and also fuzz it.
