Public bug reported:

[Impact]

There are instances of fwupd being unable to run updates on certain
devices on Ubuntu 16.04. due to a "&" in metadata.

[Test Case]

 * Try to perform an update on a 8bitdo affected device.

[Regression Potential]

 * Regressions would occur in metadata processing where the fwupd daemon
wouldn't be able to process it.

[Other Info]
 
This was discussed here:
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/565#issuecomment-402534337

This has been fixed in appstream-glib to prevent & in the metadata.  This fix is already in 18.04 and just needs to be backported to 16.04.
