Bug description:
  need focal/fwupd 1.5.11 to support this

  Ref: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/1.5.11

  Note: this version shall work well with shim with sbat.
  Note: for focal, we also need to upgrade jcat to make it work.

  [Impact]

   * We need to support Dell USB4 Dock and based on the fwupd design,
     need to upgrade the version to support it.

   * This new version will also enable certain vendors to upgrade
     intel-microcode by fwupd. Some security updates of intel-microcode
     does introduce regresssion because it's not tested across enough
     CPU family. Vendors can do more tests give they have access to
     those machines and have access to those new microcodes with
     security patches.

   * Will follow the new policy to do this SRU exception.
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates

  [Test Plan]

   * Full standard verification test listed in
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates

   * Install a sbat enable shim, turned on secure boot and make sure
     the new fwupd firmware upgrade efi still work fine.

   * Will also invite the component vendor to test the new supported
     docking when the new fwupd exists in the proposed channel.
     They already started to use the one in my ppa on focal given
     LTS release is the HWE project target.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * If it passed the verification procedure in the policy, I believe
     it shall already cover most cases.

  [Other Info]

   * This suppose to fix several bugs. OEM team will test
     those along the way.
