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.
