[Impact]

Upstream has a new point release in the 1_0_X branch that is intended for distros that are tracking it (such as Ubuntu 18.04).

Many of the bugs fixed were reproduced in Ubuntu, and some were even closed from cosmic's releases of fwupd already.

It also includes support for flashing some of the newest technology for Thundrebolt, Wacom and Synaptics MST devices which was backported from master after baking and testing for a while.

[Test Case]

 * Update to latest release
 * Ensure that UEFI firmware updates still work
 * Ensure that Thunderbolt firmware updates still work
 * Ensure that Logitech firmware updates work (and finally close devices without restarting daemon !)

[Regression Potential]

 * Regressions are likely to occur in less well tested devices and plugins depending on unique hardware (illustrative examples as 8bitdo or nitrokey)

* Upstream keeps separate branches for newer riskier content that is part of the 1.1.x series. Only less risky items are included in the 1.0.x releases.
