Also, we now verify the version script is correct each time we run the tests;
the consequences of getting the version script wrong are terribly bad.
Note, we can't actually use generated .map file for two reasons:
1. We don't hard depend on GObject Introspection
2. The map file is required to build the lib that the GIR is built from
To avoid the circular dep, and to ensure we don't change exported API
accidentaly actually check in a version of the version script to git.
This does two things:
* Allows new users of the library to see only the supported symbols
* Allows us to ensure we're not using deprecated API internally
I can also use this in gnome-software in CI to make sure we're not using
deprecated API too. I don't think we're ready for a soname bump so we have to
hang on to the deprecated code for now.
In this mode, both the metadata and firmware is stored on the local filesystem
and distributed using a distribution system like OSTree.
Fixes https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/162
Calling g-ir-scanner when cross-compiling with bitbake/OpenEmbedded
fails because it calls the wrong ld (the one from the host). More work
will be needed in meson.bbclass and/or gobject-introspection.bbclass
to make it work.
In the meantime, having an option to turn of introspection is useful
perhaps also in other cases where the extra work is not needed. For
example, fwupd works fine also when it is off.
The name of the new meson option matches the --disable-introspection
that is used by some autotools-based projects.

If something changes the cache behind our back (e.g. deleting or updating the
file) we need to reload the list of remotes so that the age is correctly shown.
Although we supported other hashes than SHA1 (which is now moderately unsafe)
we had to switch the metadata provider and daemon on some kind of flag day to
using SHA256. Since that's somewhat impractical, just allow multiple checksums
to be set on objects and just try to match whatever is given in preference
order.
This also means we can easily transition to other hash types in the future.
The removed API was never present in a tarball release, so not an API break.
Add the concept of 'remotes' that can dropped into /etc and used as firmware
metadata sources. This may be desirable when firmware is only accessable with
a valid support contract or from behind a VPN.
Automake and autoconf are impossible to fully understand and Meson now provides
everything we need for a much smaller, faster, and more understandable build.
