Move xenial to fwupd 0.8.x branch

[Mario Limonciello]

[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.

This new version of fwupd will also fix bug 1642812 so please set that to Fix Released when this new version becomes released.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

I'll investigate if I can reproduce this failure.

Can you please confirm the version of fwupdate and libfwup with that
failure?

OK so the problem is that the systemd in xenial isn't recognizing some of the options in the unit. I'll come up with a patch for it.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

I've uploaded a new package to proposed fwupd_0.8.3-0ubuntu2 that should resolve the problem with UEFI flashing not working.

[kabir hossain (kabirdkng)]

not working .. theres showing unable to download firmware update from "fwupd"

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

@kabirdkng, the fwupd_0.8.3-0ubuntu2 has not yet been accepted into xenial. It's awaiting an archive administrator to perform this action.
