This makes a lot more sense; we can parse a firmware and export the same XML
we would use in a .builder.xml file. This allows us to two two things:
* Check we can round trip from XML -> binary -> XML
* Using a .builder.xml file we can check ->write() is endian safe
We cannot yet build them as part of the build process, as we need an installed
tree so that the FuFirmware GTypes are registered. This halfway house at least
verifies we can generate all the binary files we include in the git repo.
The RO partition's USB endpoint has been observed to occasionally hiccup
(usb disconnect and reenumeration) upon reboot and initial attach, causing a
failure to update a section. Rather that making this fatal, let's set
ANOTHER_WRITE_REQUIRED and allow us to handle the new USB device after
this event.

The idea here is to return the size of the firmware, including the header,
footer or other encapsulation. It would be expected that this value would
include the alignment if provided.
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.
Keeping *internal* API and ABI compatibility makes working with an already
complex codebase more mentally demanding than it needs to be.
Remember: plugins should be in-tree and upstream! If your out of tree plugin
stops working then it should be upstream.
The public-facing libfwupd will remain API and ABI stable for obvious reasons.
When using "objcopy -O binary" to generate AArch64 EFI images, it
silently drops the sections without "alloc" or "load" or the sections
with "unload", and this caused the content of .sbat was skipped in the
final EFI image.
This commit sets the common read-only data section flags to .sbat to
make sure the content will be copied.
