Bug Description

[Impact]
fwupd is configured to use an Amazon server for downloading firmware metadata. As requested by upstream:

"The current CDN (~$100/month) is kindly sponsored by Amazon, but that won't
last forever. In the future we can switch to a 'dumb' provider like BunnyCDN
for 1/10th of the cost.

Use a CNAME we control to make switching CDN providers easy in the future."

[Test Case]
Still able to install firmware as before

[Regression Potential]
Some risk of breaking firmware updates due to server configuration, but this matches upstreams setup and is the behaviour in fwupd 1.0.6 (in bionic onwards).
