[SRU] Support new hardware system in mediatek_scalar plugin

[Dirk Su]

[ Impact ]

 * new hardware systems equip with Mediatek scalar not able to get device
   with fwupd command

[ Test Plan ]

 * run command "sudo fwupdmgr get-devices" on new hardware system

 * Mediatek scalar device can be listed

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * This SRU only add new systems id to the mediatek_scalar quirk.
   It won't affect other supported devices.

5.1.d is acceptable, the production version for mediatek graphic controller will be managed to lower than 10.

And a later fwupd version will include this fix: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/e1cd72494b359d52d64baef62d9c334127488e73
