This allows us to override the location we load data files from, which
allows us to do more kinds of installed tests in the future.
Also, move the global data/tests content into the place that it is used
as it was getting impossible to manage.
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.
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.
The former drags on glib-networking and then gsettings-desktop-schemas, which
add over 5Mb to the minimal IoT and CoreOS composes. Everything already uses
libcurl (even NetworkManager!) and so this is an easy way to reduce image size.
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.
