* In startup, check BIOS characteristics for UEFI supported instead of for /sys/firmware/uefi
* In coldplug check for /sys/firmware/uefi
* If /sys/firwmare/uefi missing, create a dummy device telling the user it is in legacy mode
This leads to madness, as some formats are supersets of the detected types,
e.g. 'intel-me' is detected as 'quad' and 'bcd' is detected as 'pair'.
Where the version format is defined in a specification or hardcoded in the
source use a hardcoded enum value, otherwise use a quirk override.
Additionally, warn if the version does not match the defined version format
Some hardware from Lenovo deduplicates UEFI Boot entries, and uses the old
string 'Linux-Firmware-Updater' to avoid removing the firmware update entry.
Although this is forbidden in the UEFI specification we shouldn't break
firmware updates from old firmware versions.
Provide a quirk for this, and automatically whitelist anything with the LENOVO
SMBIOS Manufacturer.
Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to
use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols,
namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS
namespace.
This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol,
for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock.
Ensure the quirk object is set, and then add the GUIDs first so that the
version format can be set from a quirk file.
Additionally, only overwrite the fallback name if the name has not already been
set manually from a quirk.
Additionally, if the user specified something invalid, do not autodetect the
ESP but return with a journal error. It seems wrong to ignore what the user
explicitly set and perhaps do something dangerous.

Previously if missing secure boot binaries, or invalid ESP was created the
plugin would just not load.
Now instead populate UpdateError and remove the updateble flag, but still show
the device in fwupdmgr and fwupdtool.
Check across a list of common EFI system partition locations for a mounted
location before starting fwupd.
This also will cause the plugin to not initialize if the EFI system partition
is not mounted.
If the user is using some super-old kernel or broken system we want to return
early with an error rather than try to catch each way this can fail at runtime.
