ESP detection failures

[Mario Limonciello]

[IMPACT]
fwupd 1.9.x attempts to detect the correct ESP to use, but since it's been opened up to all FAT32 partitions, there have been some false positives such as:

/run/media/root/PQSERVICE does not have sufficient space, required 90,1 MB, got 51,2 MB

PQSERVICE is a recovery partition on Lenovo systems and NOT an ESP. In order to fix this, heuristics are added to fwupd to skip known recovery partitions while still allowing to install on FAT32 partitions that look like ESPs.

[TEST PLAN]

Test that fwupd enumerates ESP properly

[Where problems occur]

If a user manually names their ESP using anything in the heuristics list it will no longer be identified properly.

This is fixed in both main and 1_9_X branches upstream and will be part of the fwupd 1.9.24 release. When that's released this will be updated in Ubuntu.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package fwupd - 1.9.24-1

I've uploaded the 1.9.24 release to unapproved queue for SRU team to review (reminder of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#fwupd_and_fwupdate)

I also have it staged on a PPA for anyone that would like to test in advance of SRU team's review.
