[Bug 1820768] Re: [SRU] support new cab format by upgrading fwupd to version 1.2.5

[Mario Limonciello]

To SRU fwupd 1.2.5 to bionic the following actions are needed.

1) libxmlb needs to be backported (which you can see was done in that
branch that was linked).

2) libxmlb needs to be patched to build on an older meson.  Patch

Bug description:
  * Impact

  Bios vendor is pushing to put new design into cab file, and also new
  docking under development need the new fwupd to support it.

  That need new fwupd to support.

  * Test case

  1. install the new fwupd, and get cab file in new format.
  2. fwupdmgr install XXX.cab. (usually we need --allow-reinstall, because we don't have any cab file in new version firmware)
  3. reboot and see check if the firmware upgrading is progress well.

  * Regression potential
