History
Richard Hughes f50ff2c27e Decouple the version format from the version itself 
If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.

Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.

Dell ESRT Support

Introduction

This allows enabling the BIOS setup option for UEFI capsule updates without manually going into BIOS setup.

GUID Generation

These device uses a hardcoded GUID of 2d47f29b-83a2-4f31-a2e8-63474f4d4c2e.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is hardcoded to PCI:0x1028.

Build Requirements

For Dell support you will need libsmbios_c version 2.4.0 or later.

If you don't want or need this functionality you can use the -Dplugin_dell=false option.

Devices powered by the Dell Plugin

The Dell ESRT plugin allows the user to enable the UpdateCapsule functionality at runtime. A reboot will be required and the BIOS administrator password must not be set.

Machines that offer this functionality will display an extra device in # fwupdmgr get-devices output.
