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.

If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.
Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.
Dell does not include the first byte in the ESRT value, ignoring it. Using a
`quad` means we get versions like `0.1.4.0` rather than `1.4.0` which confuses
both users comparing versions to the vendor website, and also anyone trying to
do analysis on the firmware.
It appears to only happen on non-dell systems trying to look up system
ID through `sysinfo_get_dell_system_id`
Other than CI non-dell systems won't be running this code.
There are some packaging problems in some distributions that lead
to TSS stack emitting warnings that will fail self tests.
These don't occur as root, and furthermore those distributions run
CI as root already.
And in the dell plugin make it non-fatal to have TPM register read failures
in case the system has TPM1.2 not TPM2.0
These are a more scalable way to apply firmware across a variety of
platforms.
An example:
```

This removes the 'two-layer' FuDevice and FuSyanpticsmstDevice model, where
a complicated plugin cache was used to add and remove devices to the daemon.
By making FuSynapticsmstDevice derive from FuDevice rather than GObject we can
also use a lot of the helper functionality like the other plugins, for instance
->prepare_firmware().
The `drm_dp_aux_dev` devices do not emit uevents on unplug/re-plug and so all
devices of `drm` class are watched and the actual DP AUX devices rescanned after
a small delay. When the AUX devices emit changes from the kernel this workaround
can be removed.
Also drop force power support for MST controllers in the Dell plugin. Overall
this has just led to more problems than it's helped.
* Monitor flickers when turned on
* Crashing graphics drivers from time to time
* Fragile logic that doesn't always represent the device state
This difficult to debug bug only showed up when the fwupd service was stopped,
which the user never noticed, but services like abrt were still keen to report.
The root issue was that the call to fu_plugin_get_smbios_data() in
fu-plugin-uefi.c:fu_plugin_startup() was freeing the returned const GBytes,
which rippled down all the way to a double-free deep in libxmlb.
It's somewhat unusual to have a const GBytes, so just change the plugin helper
to returned a ref'd copy, on the logic a potential 16 byte memory leak is better
than a double-free when the next plugin gets the logic the wrong way around.

This leads to madness, as some formats are supersets of the detected types,
e.g. 'intel-me' is detected as 'quad' and 'bcd' is detected as 'pair'.
Where the version format is defined in a specification or hardcoded in the
source use a hardcoded enum value, otherwise use a quirk override.
Additionally, warn if the version does not match the defined version format
This also allows us to write mixed-endian structures and adds tests. As part of
this commit we've also changed the API of something that's not yet been in any
tarball release, so no pitchforks please.
Some aspects of the method for querying dock firmware do work in 'dell' plugin
but that is not useful for fwupd because it's incomplete.
Due to this the following error shows up in fwupd journal if run on a Dell system
when the new Dell dock is plugged in:
failed to add USB device 0bda:8153: failed to add device using on dell: invalid dock component request Query 3 0 2 4 0
Detect this scenario, and prevent showing errors in logs.
This metadata key is now unnecessary, as firmwares are expected to set the
version format in the metadata.
If the metadata is missing, the LVFS allows a per-vendor default for non-semver
release versions which is now unconditionally set in metadata.
