[Bug 1926011] Re: groovy / focal fwupd sbat support

[Yuan-Chen Cheng]

One note: along the way of install shim from hirsute, it happened to me
that the machine can't properly boot. It just stops at the vendor logo
for quite a while.

I try to do more cross-test comparisons, however, it's not 100%
reproducible.

It seems to me that:

1. it's something that happens as an upgrade shim from the previous shim version.
2. As it's upgraded, and properly boot, then all sub-sequence reboots just work fine.

I think what I saw could need more tests. Plan to do that as we SRU back
to focal.

Bug description:
  this is a follow-up bug for

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1921539/comments/23

  [Impact]
  Future releases of shim will require that EFI binaries that are chainloaded include an SBAT region. fwupd in bionic does not currently contain this region.

  [Test Case]
  Verify that a shim that checks for sbat region can boot the fwupd with sbat region.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is moving to a new stable release in each of the series which is in bug fix only mode. The sbat region is the only "feature" that has been backported to this series in over a year.
