This drops the requirement on us being so strict on a particular ABI version,
and also more strongly discourages out of tree plugin development.
We should still strive to keep API stable, and as such keep a symbol map still.
Use rpath instead for the static plugins, and set the plugin install directory
to just fwupd-$ABI$ as we're storing more than just plugins here now.
Semantically it is the desire of the security attribute, not the bios
attribute, i.e. you could imagine that a specific attribute would have
to be *foo or bar or baz* for HSI-1 and *only foo* for HSI-2
Also make it easier to add possible BIOS attribute target values in
plugin code.
We tried to solve this by matching the org.fwupd.hsi AppStream ID, but
in some cases the resolution depends on what actually failed.
Add "the action the user is supposed to do" as flags so that the
front-end can translate this in the appropriate way, for instance,
using a different string for log events and HSI dialogs.
We were calling g_module_symbol() 2703 times, which is actually more
expensive than you'd think.
It also means the plugins are actually what we tell people they are:
A set of vfuncs that get run. The reality before that they were dlsym'd
functions that get called at pretty random times.
There is a lot of code in fwupd that just assigns a shared object type to
a FuPlugin, and then for each device on that plugin assigns that same shared
object to each FuDevice.
Rather than proxy several kinds of information stores over two different levels
of abstraction create a 'context' which contains the shared *system* state
between the daemon, the plugins and the daemon.
This will allow us to hold other per-machine state in the future, for instance
the system battery level or AC state.
When this is done, include:
* Including the hash
* Including anything that is not ABI stable in plugins yet

To do this, rely on the AppStream ID to map to a translated string (providing a
fallback for clients that do not care) and switch the free-form result string
into a set of enumerated values that can be translated.
This fixes some of the problems where some things have to be enabled to "pass"
and other attributes have to be some other state. For cases where we want the
user to "do" something, provide a URL to a wiki page that we update out-of-band
of fwupd releases.
The HSI specification is currently incomplete and in active development.
