1981c63d58 Remove FuFirmwareImage and just use FuFirmware instead
This allows us to 'nest' firmware formats, and removes a ton of duplication.

The aim here is to deprecate FuFirmwareImage -- it's almost always acting
as a 'child' FuFirmware instance, and even copies most of the vfuncs to allow
custom types. If I'm struggling to work out what should be a FuFirmware and
what should be a FuFirmwareImage then a plugin author has no hope.

For simple payloads we were adding bytes into an image and then the image into
a firmware. This gets really messy when most plugins are treating the FuFirmware
*as* the binary firmware file.

The GBytes saved in the FuFirmware would be considered the payload with the
aim of not using FuFirmwareImage in the single-image case.

7bcb8d4385 Export FwupdPlugin so we can convey enumerated system errors to the end user
For instance, we can tell the user that UEFI UpdateCapsule is disabled in the
system firmware, or that efivarfs is not mounted. This is much better than
creating "dummy" devices which are really just hacks around the problem because
no better API existed. THe dummy devices cause as many problems as they solve.

Plugins have to set FWUPD_PLUGIN_FLAG_USER_WARNING if a warning should be shown
to the user, and only one warning will be shown of each failure type.

It is expected that GUI clients like gnome-software and gnome-firmware would use
this API to notify the user the localized message for why firmware updates are
not being shown.

We can re-enable this once we have concrete buy-in from more than just Intel.

7c8a830659 libfwupd: Add async versions of the library for GUI tools
Rather than force the GUI to interact with fwupd using threads, provide
async versions so thay can be run without blocking the UI thread.

3ed2ac8315 trivial: Unexport fu_test_get_filename()
We don't actually need either of the things it provides (looking up in source
and built, and converting to an absolute path) so just replace it with
g_build_filename() instead.

This also has the advantage that it does the right thing on Windows.

f0f504c740 trivial: Do not use FuProgressbar in dfu-tool
This is a debug-only command line program, and we don't want plugins to have
access to the animated progressbar header in the future.

This will allow us to export FuPlugin in the future without dragging in the
private fu-history.h too.

Also update the structure as the documentation doesn't only describe
libfwupd.
