"Updating from an EXE without a capsule" doesn't work

[glennmorris]

Hi,

The README contains a section "Updating from an EXE without a capsule" describing how to use contrib/firmware_packager/install_dell_bios_exe.py to install from a local exe file when the LVFS is not up to date.

When I tried to use this on AlmaLinux 9.4, it failed with:

org.freedesktop.fwupd property OnlyTrusted, current value is True
setting configuration key OnlyTrusted to false
Fwupd.Client.modify_config() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)

This recent commit in fwupd self admittedly breaks the API, meaning install_dell_bios_exe.py from the repository is unlikely to work with any installed release of fwupd.

Reverting my local fwupd checkout to the previous revision allowed install_dell_bios_exe.py to work for me.
