When developing code it's really convenient to only run the new plugin. This
means you don't have to wait for the other hardware to initialize and there
are no side-effects from other plugins when installing firmware.
You can specify multiple plugins as globs, for instance:
fwupdtool get-devices \
--plugin-whitelist wacom \
--plugin-whitelist "thunderbolt*"
When using failed to open firmware.cab we pass in a device ID of '*' which
tells the daemon to update anything that matches. The current implementation
will fail in two ways:
* If duplicate hardware is installed (for instance two Unifying receivers) then
only the first matching device will be updated.
* If the firmware archive contains two different images then we only try and
upgrade the first device that matches. This means we're unable to update
composite devices using one firmware file.
To fix both issues, carefully build a list of tasks that can be processed using
the given firmware and installed devices, request authentication using all the
different action IDs, then upgrade all the devices one-at-a-time.
Based on a patch by Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@dell.com>, many thanks.
This allows us to find out the logical parent device, for instance in composite
devices with more than one firmware image for a single device.
We also allow lazily specifying the device parent using a GUID and the engine
then automatically sets the parent object when the GUIDs match, which allows
children and parents to exist in different plugins.
We don't want to use the version= attribute as the HWIDs are not versions, and
thinkgs like globbing just doesn't make sense given they are from hashes.

This allows plugins to set and explicit build-time version. It also uses the
same AppStream component-ID scheme rather than the home-grown 'FooVersion' key.
Also, use the new runtime and compile-time versions in the report metadata.
Due to the key change we'll also need to update some LVFS rules.
In some cases firmware can only be installed with an up to date GUsb (e.g. with
some STM-DFU hardware) or with a new version of fwupdate (e.g. any UEFI
UpdateCapsule without a capsule header).
We should be able to match against other software versions like we can the
fwupd version, e.g.
<requires>
<id compare="ge" version="0.9.2">org.freedesktop.fwupd</id>
<id compare="ge" version="11">com.redhat.fwupdate</id>
</requires>
Also, rather than checking each requirement we know about on the component,
check each requirement on the component about things we know. This ensures we
don't allow firmware to be installs that requires for instance fwupdate 22 when
the runtime version is only being added in fwupdate 12 and up.
This means the following is now an error that will fail to allow the firmware
to be installed:
<requires>
<firmware>doesnotexist</firmware>
<some_future_tag>also_unknown</some_future_tag>
</requires>
Also add a lot of self tests to test the various new failure modes.

There are a lot of hacks here;
* Pulling newer libappstream-glib from Fedora
* Pulling a systemd backport
* Manually installing pillow and pygobject
* PKCS7 is turned off (gnutls is too old)
Don't optimize the device flag away. We need to be able to set the flag on all
devices that match the device ID, not just the one that happens to match now.
If the device firmware was set incorrectly make then set it to the release
version so the database update works correctly. We can't do any kind of vercmp
in the database, so use a daemon warning so we can either fix the plugin or
the XML.
This fixes up the issue that the hardware reports '28.00' and the AppStream
release specifies '28.0'.

If this happens:
1.2.3 -> 1.2.4 = failure
1.2.3 -> 1.2.5 = success
...we want to preserve both in the history database so they can both be shared
with the LVFS. Use the device ID and the new and old firmware versions when
modifying and deleting entries.
This fix is made slightly more tricky as we have to drop the PRIMARY KEY
attribute on the device_id, and due to a limitation in SQLite, it means copying
the old history into a new table.
Previous to having the history database we could only notify about firmware that
as installed using the uefi plugin, as that had a few system-wide API calls to
say 'this update failed' or 'this was the error'.
Now we have the local history database not only can we report more details about
the UEFI update (e.g. the old version number) but we can also offer the same
functionality for all other plugins.
Although this does rework how the data for GetResults() is populated, it does
make the FuEngine object quite a lot less confused.
It also fixes a warning in the fwupd plugin for gnome-software, which was
expecting the FwupdRelease to be populated for the FwupdDevice.
This allows us to record whether we've shown the user a notification (either in
the terminal or in a GUI) that an update failed or was successful.
This can't be done in the session otherwise we'd get a notification for every
different user on the system. Notifying also isn't the same as reporting,
although one can certainly follow on from the latter.
In the case of failing to even set up UpdateCapsule, the uefi plugin would
dutifully return SUCCESS as it was referring to the 2nd-to-last update that
actually worked.
The SUPPORTED flag is used when a device appears in the AppStream metadata of
any enabled remote, so when we rescan the modified store also ensure the flag
state is still correct.

Rename FuPending to FuHistory to better represent what the object is now doing.
Also, while we're here, switch to using SQLite prepared statements to avoid a
possible invalid read on i386 hardware.
Always set the AppStream app properties on the FwupdRelease. In some cases we
were returning FwupdRelease objects with no name or summary which gnome-software
was ignoring.
