Description of problem:
When gnome-software finds a firmware update, and you hit the update button, it 
is unclear whether the update succeeded, and also unclear that you need to 
reboot your machine to actually apply the update.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Preconditions:
1. Have a machine with non-up-to-date firmware. I had a Dell XPS 13 9370 with 
the factory firmware.
2. Fresh Fedora 28 installation on said machine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch gnome-software
2. Go to updates
3. Hit the refresh button
4. Wait for it until it displays an update (in this case a bios update)
5. Click the "Update" button next to the BIOS update

Actual results:
- The update disappears for a while. Then it appears again.
- There is no indication of success
- Also no indication that tells me I should reboot the machine now.

Expected results:
- The update should not appear again
- It should tell me that the update was successful
- It should tell me I need to reboot the machine to apply the bios update

Additional info:
None.

This is fixed upstream, but will require fixes in both gnome-software
and fwupd.

Bug description:
  The fix for this particular issue is tracked in SRU bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1791999

  Regression potential:
  Fixes for this particular bug would have the risk to manifest in devices not 
showing up in gnome-software, but this risk is very low.

  Test case:
  1) Run a UEFI firmware update from Gnome software.
  2) Make sure that the update disappears from the listing after pressing the 
update button.

  Original bug:

  Ubuntu 17.10

  On a dell latitude 5580, the firmware update seems to not work while
  it actually does.

  1. Gnome software reports there is a new firmware update.
  2. I click "update now"
  3. The update disappears for a few seconds, then reappears.
  4. When I reboot my laptop, the laptop goes into firmware update modus, 
updates the firmware, and starts Ubuntu.

  What I expect:

  After clicking "update now", Gnome software tells me my computer has
  to restart the update. Either the update is listed and greyed out with
  a "reboot required" message, or the update is not visible.
