Calling g-ir-scanner when cross-compiling with bitbake/OpenEmbedded
fails because it calls the wrong ld (the one from the host). More work
will be needed in meson.bbclass and/or gobject-introspection.bbclass
to make it work.
In the meantime, having an option to turn of introspection is useful
perhaps also in other cases where the extra work is not needed. For
example, fwupd works fine also when it is off.
The name of the new meson option matches the --disable-introspection
that is used by some autotools-based projects.

Pre-filter the pending LuDeviceBootloaderRequest's after they are parsed so
that we know exactly how many packets need to be sent to the hardware.
As shown in https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/155, people get worried
if the progress bar finishes before 100% as they'll wonder if all the writing
completed successfully.
This avoids open()ing and close()ing multiple times on hotplug -- which in
itself isn't a huge problem as the requests are refcounted in libusb, but it
matters hugely when a plugin accidentally closes a device that was not opened.
As all the devices are going to be opened anyway (to read the vendor strings)
and the cost of keeping the device is open is tiny, just get libgusb to
auto-open *all* devices and keep them open for the duration.

When reading with g_dir_read_name() the returned files do not have to be sorted
in any particular order and could even change between invokation. This patch
makes debugging the interactions between plugins much easier.
* Meson >=0.41.0, (unreleased) polkit 0.114+ don't use data_dirs argument
* Meson >=0.41.0, older polkit, use local ITS rules with data_dirs argument
* Meson <0.41.0, any polkit, use custom policy building rules
Later on when meson 0.41.0+ and polkit 0.114+ is in many stable distros
this commit can be reverted and dependencies updated.
Fixes: #107
The items that 0.6.13 requires are now guarded by a version test.
This should allow running fwupd master on more distros that haven't
yet picked up appstream-glib 0.6.13.
The kernel offers two interfaces for manipulation of EFI variables.
Make sure that at least one of these is available.
If another interface is added (and supported by efivar) then this
list will need to be appended as well.
This was raised as a potential problem in #100.
