fwupd installs by default firmware-packager (a python3 script) into
the CrOS image. CrOS does not support python3 interpreter and fails
passing the TestValidInterpreter. Removing this script from the default
installation fixes the issue.

If running non-interactive with a composite device update then while "switching"
devices a bunch of backspace characters are output before the title.
For example:
```
010#010#010#010#010#010#010#010#010#010#010
```
CABs like this are commonly created by `makecab.exe` on Windows.
```
DriverPackage\filename.bin
DriverPackage\filename.metainfo.xml
```
On gcab < 1.0 the comparison needs to be made without this directory name.
The udev plugin is somewhat special as it uses a non-subclassed FuDevice that
never gets 'opened'.
This means that we never automatically call fu_device_setup() and thus the
instance IDs are not converted into GUIDs before the device is added.
The checksum is now stored as the very last flash descriptor, so we need to pad
the SREC data to include the 'missing' data range. As we're doing that, we
should optimize like the Wacom updater does and skip writing descriptors that
are unused.
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.
This allows hardware from OEMs to *not* match generic firmware supplied by the
device manufacturer. The idea being, that the OEM will supply firmware that
will actually work on the device.
Based on a patch from Mario Limonciello, many thanks.
When running in an upstart job fwupdtool will show the following every time
```
Decompressing?
Idle?
Loading?
Idle?
<normal output/errors>
```
The steps are not useful for automatically run jobs even in the logs.
Some distros such as ChromeOS run fwupdtool as a `fwupd` user and open
up permisssions as necessary. The root warning isn't useful for them
to show up in the logs every time the tool runs.
This makes it much easier to write metainfo files as we don't have to ask OEMs
or ODMs to run fwupdtool or fwupd with --verbose and then sort through hundreds
of debugging statements.
The fwupdmgr get-devices output also now prints output like this:
20EQS64N0C System Firmware
Guid: ddc0ee61-e7f0-4e7d-acc5-c070a398838e
Guid: 40ce5954-bfa8-5762-926b-f4848cb28bc8 <- UEFI\RES_{DDC0EE61-E7F0-4E7D-ACC5-C070A398838E}
We're deliberately not showing the InstanceId lines in the get-updates command
as the instance IDs are not useful in this case. It will also only show the
InstanceID lines when run as a trusted user, for instance root.
