  * tests:
    - Rename ubuntu_drivers.py to test_ubuntu_drivers.py.
  * UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Update oem-*-meta packages after we install them.
    - Offer oem-*-meta for installation with "ubuntu-drivers install".
    - Check for 'Modaliases' first when building modalias -> package map.
  * ubuntu-drivers:
    - Add a new 'list-oem' command.
    - Add a --no-oem flag.
    - Allow installing device specific metapackages (LP: #1866035).

Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  We have a project underway at the minute to install any hardware-
  specific tweaks that are needed for the currently running machine, and
  to select a different kernel on those machines: the OEM kernel. This
  requires changes in grub, ubiquity and ubuntu-drivers common. We'd
  like to land those changes.

  grub
  ====

  On a live session, construct a DMI modalias and match it against the
  packages on the CD to see if we need to boot the OEM kernel.

  ubuntu-drivers-common
  =====================

  List the oem-*meta packages which apply to the running machine, and
  install those with 'install'.

  ubiquity
  ========

  Use the information that ubuntu-drivers provides to show some UI if
  there is a matching package, and also install the package if the user
  selects it.

  [ Testing ]

  We have a package "oem-qemu-meta" in Focal which you can use to test
  this inn a VM. If you're using libvirt, edit the XML for a Focal VM
  and add

  In the <os> section: <smbios mode='sysinfo'/>

  Under <domain>:

    <sysinfo type='smbios'>
      <system>
        <entry name='product'>UBUNTUQEMUTEST</entry>
      </system>
    </sysinfo>
