[Bug 1921544] Re: fwupd 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x: vendor-id requirement on LVFS causes failures

[Yuan-Chen Cheng]

per #7, the update code still behave better in other HW case, given so,
maybe we still keep this one, just we don't know which specific HW is
the right one to do the verification for groovy and focal.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  A new requirement was introduced into LVFS to enforce vendor IDs for devices.  This caused problems for upgrades on Dell's WD19 dock with fwupd 1.2.x and 1.3.x. and 1.4.x versions.

  $ fwupdmgr update
  No upgrades for RTS5487 in Dell dock, current is 01.47: 01.47=same, 01.47=same, 01.47=same
  No releases found for device: cannot handle firmware requirement 'vendor-id'
  No releases found for device: cannot handle firmware requirement 'vendor-id'
  No releases found for device: cannot handle firmware requirement 'vendor-id'
  No upgrades for RTS5413 in Dell dock, current is 01.21: 01.21=same, 01.21=same, 01.21=same

  [Test Case]
  Plug in an up to date WD19 and try to issue "fwupdmgr update".  Find the results should look like this instead:

  $ fwupdmgr update
  No upgrades for RTS5487 in Dell dock, current is 01.47: 01.47=same, 01.47=same, 01.47=same
  No upgrades for WD19, current is 01.00.00.05: 01.00.00.05=same, 01.00.00.04=older, 01.00.00.00=older
  No upgrades for Package level of Dell dock, current is 01.00.15.01: 01.00.15.01=same, 01.00.14.01=older, 01.00.04.01=older
  No upgrades for VMM5331 in Dell dock, current is 05.04.06: 05.04.06=same, 05.04.03=older, 05.03.10=older
  No upgrades for RTS5413 in Dell dock, current is 01.21: 01.21=same, 01.21=same, 01.21=same

  [Regression Potential]
  This particular fix is low risk, it only affects vendor ID path.
