Bug Description

The package sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw provides firmware for FX2-based hardware, used in many logic analyzers. Without this firmware, pulseview will not work with common hardware and will give cryptic and unhelpful USB error messages, like "generic/unspecified error".

I believe sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw should be a recommended package or dependency of the pulseview package, especially since it is the only sigrok firmware available in the repos.
