[Impact]
fwupd-efi 1.4 fixes issues with firmware updates on some hardware and is the first release with the NX bit set.

[Release Notes]
## 1.3

This release fixes the following bugs:

Fix a regression when applying updates on an HP M60
Fix the ARM system crt0 name
Show the version when starting fwupd-efi

## 1.4

This release fixes the following bugs:

Add additional checks for incompatible CRT0
Align sections to 512 bytes
Generate images that are NX compatible
Use manual symbols mode on ARM32
Use objcopy to build arm/aarch64 binaries for new binutils

[Test plan]
- Boot it in the VM
- Boot it on real hardware (Julian can check built binary on ThinkPad T14 G3 AMD)

[Where problems could occur]
fwupd efi binary could regress on some platforms if there's bugs, preventing people on those platforms from ugprading their firmware.
