Title:
  Move xenial to fwupd 0.8.x branch

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fwupd source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

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.

  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.
