a3806d641c firmware updates: split overly long sentence into three separate one
Surely  still not perfect but even me, a comma loving creator of
complex sentences, found rather hard to follow, so this had to get
split up.

905fff4902 firmware: adapt to proxmox packaged fwupd
We ship our own fwupd package, since it needs to handle the
differently named efi_os_dir (proxmox vs debian).
Due to our experience with `udisks2` causing issues on hypervisors,
our package downgraded the Recommends udisks2, to a Suggests.
The downside is, that users need to explicitly set their ESP
mountpoint in the config file.

Additionally a minor stylistic rephrasing (is an option vs. could be
an option).

Tested this today, while giving our fwupd package a spin.

16b31cc9a6 sysadmin: add section 'Firmware Updates' and references
Firmware updates are important, their existence should not be checked
only when there are already noticeable problems.
