Now incorporate is fixed to copy across the properties we need in the
superclass, we don't need to do the subclass ->probe().
Note, we still need to do the subclassed ->probe() when using
FU_UDEV_DEVICE_FLAG_VENDOR_FROM_PARENT or when looking at properties
on the parent device.
This also removes the spurious 'already set GType to FuVliUsbhubDevice,
ignoring FuVliUsbhubDevice' messages when running the daemon.
Provide a device instance builder that allows plugins to easily
create multiple instance IDs based on parent attributes.
Also fix a lot of the instance ID orders, so that we add more generic
IDs first, and more specific IDs after.
tristate features will automatically disable if dependencies marked
as required are missing.
Packagers can manually override using `auto_features`.

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.
The fact that it currently lives in uefi-capsule is a historical
accident, and it doesn't really belong to tpm-eventlog either.

This indicates the GUID in some way contributed to the result decided.
It also allows us to match the submitted HSI results back to a firmware
stream on the LVFS, which allows us to allow vendors to see a subset of
results for uploaded devices.
There are now multiple plugins using drm_dp_aux_dev interface which
may potentially be combined with an amdgpu. Prevent exercising this
interface with any plugin using DP aux unless a new enough kernel is
installed.
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.
The best way of not getting something wrong is to not require it in the first
place...
All plugins now use DeviceInstanceId-style quirk matches and we can just drop
the prefix in all files. We were treating HwId=, Guid= and DeviceInstanceId= in
exactly the same way -- they're just converted to GUIDs when building the silo!
This allows a device subclass to call the parent method after doing an initial
action, or even deliberately not call the *generic* parent method at all.
It also simplifies the plugins; you no longer have to remember what the plugin
is deriving from and accidentally clobber the wrong superclass method.
When this is done, include:
* Including the hash
* Including anything that is not ABI stable in plugins yet

Asking the user for the UID mapping isn't working very well, as it requires lots
of manual handholding. It also doesn't work very well when the device vendor
does not actually have a PCI ID or if the vendor has split into two entities.
Just use the OUI address as an additional VendorID and match any of the device
IDs against any of the metadata-supplied values.
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.
