Richard Hughes c125ec02ed Clarify what the platform ID actually is by renaming it
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).

Intel Management Engine

Introduction

This plugin is used to get the version number on the Intel Management Engine.

If AMT is enabled and provisioned and the AMT version is between 6.0 and 11.2, and you have not upgraded your firmware, you are vulnerable to CVE-2017-5689 and you should disable AMT in your system firmware.

This code is inspired by 'AMT status checker for Linux' by Matthew Garrett which can be found here: https://github.com/mjg59/mei-amt-check

That tool in turn is heavily based on mei-amt-version from samples/mei in the Linux source tree and copyright Intel Corporation.
