Bug description:
  [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 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.
