This allows it to be refreshed anytime the daemon updates rather
than once a day by a systemd job.
As part of this change, remove the logging from `fwupdmgr` which
was only used for motd purposes.
Some hardware does not handle upgrading from version 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 and instead
needs to be upgraded from 1.2.2->1.2.3->1.2.4 so that on-device metadata can be
migrated correctly.
Add a new per-device flag `install-all-releases` which causes the daemon to not
skip directly to the newest release. This is designed to be set from a quirk
file.
This can obviously only be used for devices that can apply firmware "live" and
thus do not need a reboot or system shutdown to actually apply the firmware.
This also needs the cabinet archive to ship multiple versions of the firmware,
and for the metainfo.xml file to refer to multiple release objects.
In some CI infrastructures other devices show up and so the webcam
is not automatically picked.

To debug flashing failures it's sometimes requried to get a SPI dump of the
hardware to analysis.
Add a debug-only command that lets us dump the device from the engine.
During startup we do 1898 persistent allocations to load the quirk files, which
equates to ~90kb of RSS. Use libxmlb to create a mmap'able store we can query
with XPath queries at runtime.
Makes `fwupd-refresh.service` strictly opt-in.
Some distros are defaulting to all systemd services on and causing
more refreshes than desirable by default, especially when using
both `gnome-software` and `fwupd-refresh.service`
It turns out there is some bug in systemd v242 or less that runtime
directories can't be used. So only populate motd when we know that
we have a newer systemd
`fwupd-refresh.service` uses `DynamicUser=true` which causes systemd
to make `/var/cache/fwupd` a symlink to `/var/cache/private/fwupd`.
Individual units aren't allowed to access this directory, only the ones
with the directive. This means that `fwupd.service` stops working as
soon as a user tries to start `fwupd-refresh.service`.
The bug details are present in

This allows us to easily build just libfwupd in a flatpak manifest without
installing dozens of deps to build things we're just going to delete anyway.
Mostly for consistency purpose. Details:
* It's confusing that internally the functions for `FwupdClient` use
`upgrade` in the name.
* The logical antonym of `downgrade` is `upgrade` not `update`
* People who don't use the tool frequently may try `get-upgrades`
Fixes Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921820
Introduce a new --log option to fwupdmgr that will log stdout to an argument.
If run under systemd, prefix that argument with $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY.
Add a new systemd unit and associated timer to regularly refresh metadata.
After the metadata refresh is complete, save the output to the motd location.
The timer and service are disabled by default and can be enabled by an admin.
In many plugins we've wanted to use ->prepare_firmware() to parse the firmware
ahead of ->detach() and ->write_firmware() but this has the limitation that it
can only return a single blob of data.
For many devices, multiple binary blobs are required from one parsed image,
for instance providing signatures, config and data blobs that have to be pushed
to the device in different way.
This also means we parse the firmware *before* we ask the user to detach.
Break the internal FuDevice API to support these firmware types as they become
more popular.
This also allows us to move the Intel HEX and SREC parsing out of the dfu plugin
as they are used by a few plugins now, and resolving symbols between plugins
isn't exactly awesome.
