[Bug 1746114] [NEW] Move xenial to fwupd 0.8.x branch

 

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
 * Upstream has declared that 0.7.x is EOL
   - No further security updates will be performed for it.
 * Many crashers were fixed in 0.8.x.
 * Upstream can better maintain fwupd ecosystem wide if Ubuntu (the last ones using 0.7.x release) move to 0.8.x
 * Upstream spun this release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version.

New Features:
 - Add --version option to fwupdmgr (Richard Hughes)

Bugfixes:
 - Add a delay when calling update_prepare (Mario Limonciello)
 - Block owned Dell TPM updates (#339) (Mario Limonciello)
 - Catch invalid Dell dock component requests (Mario Limonciello)
 - Disable the dell plugin if libsmbios fails (Mario Limonciello)
 - Do not re-download firmware that exists in the cache (Richard Hughes)
 - Ensure the 8bitdo version is set in non-bootloader mode (Richard Hughes)
 - Fix a logic error with testing for a dell system (Mario Limonciello)
 - Fix compile with newer versions of GUdev (Richard Hughes)
 - Fix crash with dock connected but UEFI capsule off (Mario Limonciello)
 - Use new VID for 8bitdo (Richard Hughes)


[Test Case]
 * Use fwupdmgr to check for and apply a firmware update
 * Use gnome-software to check for and apply a firmware update

[Regression Potential]
 * This is a point release of the 0.8.x release which has been deemed stable.
 * Potential regressions would more likely exist in gnome-software which uses fwupd's interfaces to perform firmware updates.
 * If a regression were to occur, gnome-software may crash or not display a firmware update anymore.
