Title:
  Change metadata server to upstream requested one

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:

Status in fwupd source package in Xenial:

Status in fwupd source package in Artful:
  Won't Fix
Status in fwupd source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  fwupd is configured to use an Amazon server for downloading firmware metadata. As requested by upstream:

  "The current CDN (~$100/month) is kindly sponsored by Amazon, but that won't
  last forever. In the future we can switch to a 'dumb' provider like BunnyCDN
  for 1/10th of the cost.

  Use a CNAME we control to make switching CDN providers easy in the
  future."

  [Test Case]
  Still able to install firmware as before

  [Regression Potential]
  Some risk of breaking firmware updates due to server configuration, but this matches upstreams setup and is the behaviour in fwupd 1.0.6 (in bionic onwards).
