[Bug 1820768] [NEW] [SRU] support new cab and new docking firmware upgrade in fwupd 1.2.5

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

* Impact

Bios vendor is pushing to put the new design into cab file, and also new
docking DW19 needs the new fwupd to support it.

That needs new fwupd to support.

* Test case

I
1. install the new fwupd, and plugin the new docking - DW19.
2. fwupdmgr get-devices and check if all internal device can properly show
II.
1. If you can get new cab file, try to use fwupdmgr install XX.cab to see if can work properly.
III.
1. If you can get a machine that have some firmware update pending, try to go gnome-software, and click refresh with the new fwupd, you should be able to see the pending firmware showed there. Which proves that it can properly integrated with gnome. (ycheng-twn have a laptop with that condition, and he can verify that one)


* Regression potential

Since the upstream maintainer is back up this upgrade, and he also works
in a major computer vendor and works closely with the BIOS team, it
should be fairly low risk.
