Public bug reported:
[IMPACT]
fwupd 1.9.x attempts to detect the correct ESP to use, but since it's been
opened up to all FAT32 partitions, there have been some false positives such as:
/run/media/root/PQSERVICE does not have sufficient space, required 90,1
MB, got 51,2 MB
PQSERVICE is a recovery partition on Lenovo systems and NOT an ESP. In
order to fix this, heuristics are added to fwupd to skip known recovery
partitions while still allowing to install on FAT32 partitions that look
like ESPs.
[TEST PLAN]
Test that fwupd enumerates ESP properly
[Where problems occur]
If a user manually names their ESP using anything in the heuristics list
it will no longer be identified properly.
