fwupd SRU policy update request.

[YC Cheng]

Hi, to support OEM cutting edge hardware in LTS, we need to upgrade fwupd
across dot release (ex: 1.3.x to 1.4.y) again (we did that in bionic, too)
based on the discussion on the roadmap sprint.

Given this will be a repeated work, here is the fwupd-updates SRU policy
draft
for final review.

fwupd has most of its role on hardware support and also has userspace
command-line utilities, a daemon that talks with ubuntu-store. So extra care
will be needed.

The updated policy add the possibility of upgrading across dot release and
add MUST-RUN steps for such a case, to make sure we won't have regression.

We've done our best to prepare the updated policy with contributions from
several engineers to make sure it has good coverage. Please kindly approve
or comment on how to make it better.

Thank you.
