History
Richard Hughes b333e0045c Split out a shared system context 
There is a lot of code in fwupd that just assigns a shared object type to
a FuPlugin, and then for each device on that plugin assigns that same shared
object to each FuDevice.

Rather than proxy several kinds of information stores over two different levels
of abstraction create a 'context' which contains the shared *system* state
between the daemon, the plugins and the daemon.

This will allow us to hold other per-machine state in the future, for instance
the system battery level or AC state.

UEFI Support

Introduction

Some devices have firmware bugs which mean they do not include a valid ESRT table in old firmware versions.

Create a 'fake' UEFI device with the lowest possible version so that it can be updated to a version of firmware which does have an ESRT table.

GUID Generation

All the HwId GUIDs are used for the fake UEFI device, and so should be used in the firmware metadata for releases that should recover the system.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the BIOS vendor, for example DMI:LENOVO

External interface access

This plugin requires no extra access.
