Yes, this is going to be the part of this SRU that is going to need the
most due diligence, because from an archive and key management point of
view, we do not want to have both fwupd-signed and fwupdate-signed being
updated in bionic, and we also do not want bionic users who have
fwupdate-signed installed by default from main islanded where they
cannot get fixes to this package.

So this needs to be treated as an exceptional SRU of fwupdate with a
high standard of care.

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
