This allows the Redfish plugin to "just work" when there is no username
or password in the SMBIOS data. Using KCS we can create an admin account
from the host OS and then automatically enumerate devices.
We don't want to show the big warning about the missing ESRT on server
hardware that is managed by a BMC:
WARNING: UEFI capsule updates not available or enabled in firmware setup
See https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:capsules-unsupported for more information.
Only the backup BMC device (which we ignore anyway...) can be updated
by specifying the target ID, the others need an *empty* array so that
XCC can work out what devices need to be processed.
Some distributions like RHEL change the default to not autoconnect
ethernet devices. This breaks connecting to the SMBIOS-defined BMC
adapter which means all the reads fail after a 60s timemout.
Autoconnect the internal USB ethernet adapter so we can use Redfish
without user action.
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.
When this is done, include:
* Including the hash
* Including anything that is not ABI stable in plugins yet

The end year is legally and functionally redundant, and more importantly causes
cherry-pick conflicts when trying to maintain old branches. Use git for history.
Some plugins have devices with more than one protocol. Logically the protocol
belongs to the device, not the plugin, and in the future we could use this to
further check firmware that's about to be deployed.
This is also not exported into libfwupd (yet?) as it's remains a debug-feature
only -- protocols are not actually required for devices to be added.
This difficult to debug bug only showed up when the fwupd service was stopped,
which the user never noticed, but services like abrt were still keen to report.
The root issue was that the call to fu_plugin_get_smbios_data() in
fu-plugin-uefi.c:fu_plugin_startup() was freeing the returned const GBytes,
which rippled down all the way to a double-free deep in libxmlb.
It's somewhat unusual to have a const GBytes, so just change the plugin helper
to returned a ref'd copy, on the logic a potential 16 byte memory leak is better
than a double-free when the next plugin gets the logic the wrong way around.

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.
Since the Redfish service may use a self-signed certificate without
specifying the hostname, we could have the problem to verify such
certificate. A new option, CACheck, is introduced so that the user can
decide whether to ignore the CA verification or not.

This commit adds redfish.conf to configure the IP and username/password
in case those are not available in SMBIOS and the EFI variables.
Since we can configure the IP in the conf file, the environment
variable, FWUPD_REDFISH_URI, is removed.

Redfish is an open industry standard specification and schema that helps enable
simple and secure management of modern scalable platform hardware.
This has only ever been tested using an emulator and not on real hardware.
