Using the library instead of the command line tools provides a more
stable interface. This implementation only fetches PCR 0 for all
available hash algorithms since this is the only PCR that is actually
used in fwupd.
fu_uefi_get_esp_path_for_os() generates the path to the OS directory
based on "ID" in /etc/os-release, and it may not work for some distros.
Take openSUSE as an example, the "ID" for openSUSE Leap is
"opensuse-leap" and that for openSUSE Tumbleweed is "opensuse-tumbleweed".
However, both of them use the same OS directory in the ESP, i.e.
"/EFI/opensuse".
This commit adds a new build option, efi_os_dir, to allow the packager to
specify the name of OS directory at build time instead of the runtime
detection.

We can't actually access the UEFI ROM from userspace, but the PCR0 is a hash
built from the ROM itself. We could use this value to ensure the firmware has
been written correctly, and that the PCR0 matches the expected value specified
in the metadata.
The libxmlb library is much faster to query, and does not require the daemon
to parse the XML metadata at startup. It's a zero-copy mmap design that is more
modern and less clunky.
RSS has reduced from 3Mb (peak 3.61Mb) to 1Mb (peak 1.07Mb) and the startup
time has gone from 280ms to 250ms.
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.
Automake and autoconf are impossible to fully understand and Meson now provides
everything we need for a much smaller, faster, and more understandable build.
