Saving the quirks in the GResource section worked well, but it made the build system very complicated and also meant the .data section was duplicated in both `fwupd` and `fwupdtool` -- negating a lot of the hard-fought savings. Simplify this feature so that we just `cat` all the quirk files together, then gzip them into a single file. This means that at startup fwupd only needs to check the mtime of one file, and weirdly it's actually faster to load a smaller compressed file from disk that it is to load multiple uncompressed files. |

MSR
Introduction
This plugin checks if the Model-specific registers (MSRs) indicate the Direct Connect Interface (DCI) is enabled.
DCI allows debugging of Intel processors using the USB3 port. DCI should always be disabled and locked on production hardware as it allows the attacker to disable other firmware protection methods.
The result will be stored in a security attribute for HSI.
External Interface Access
This plugin requires read access to /sys/class/msr.
