It wasn't hugely clear what the platform ID was actually meant to represent. In
some cases it was being used like a physical ID, in others it was a logical ID,
and in others it was both. In some cases it was even used as a sysfs path.
Clear up all the confusion by splitting the platform ID into two parts, an
optional *physical* ID to represent the electrical connection, and an optional
*logical* ID to disambiguate composite devices with the same physical ID.
Also create an explicit sysfs_path getter for FuUdevDevice to make this clear.
This allows WAIT_FOR_REPLUG to always work, rather than depending on the order
that the GUIDs were added, and that the kernel would always return the same
sysfs path (which it doesn't have to do, especially for hidraw devices).
In this instance, we define the 'same device' to be a FuDevice that has at
least one matching GUID. We allow the plugins to define which one is 'better'
than other plugins, and use this to only have one FuDevice for the physical
device.

If the daemon either de-duplicates or replaces the object passed emitted from
device-added then the object set as the alternate may not be the same instance
as the daemon version. This causes weird things to happen.
To make this less fragile, specify the *ID* of the object that should be the
alternate device, which allows the daemon to do clever things, and then assign
the object from the ID as the last step.
Although fixing no bug, this makes implementing future functionality easier.
This allows us to find out the logical parent device, for instance in composite
devices with more than one firmware image for a single device.
We also allow lazily specifying the device parent using a GUID and the engine
then automatically sets the parent object when the GUIDs match, which allows
children and parents to exist in different plugins.
Rename FuPending to FuHistory to better represent what the object is now doing.
Also, while we're here, switch to using SQLite prepared statements to avoid a
possible invalid read on i386 hardware.
This was only ever added for gnome-software, and is too inflexible for anything
else. It turns out we don't even need it in GNOME, as we can construct a
suitable ID ourselves using the existing values.
It was also ambiguous whether the unique ID was in reference to the device
or release -- and for gnome-software we need both.
