Title:
Move xenial to fwupd 0.8.x branch
Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in fwupd source package in Xenial:
Opinion
Bug description:
[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 or newer.
* Latest upstream release is 1.0.4 release, but moving to 0.9.x or 1.0.x is difficult due to many dependencies not present in Ubuntu 16.04.
* Upstream spun this point release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version.

[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.
