Public bug reported:

[Impact]
fwupd currently configures the boot entry without shim if secure boot is 
disabled, leading to different code paths being taken on non-secureboot 
systems, and fwupd being broken if you intercept the reboot and turn on secure 
boot.

This makes verifying changes harder.

[Test plan]
Run fwupdmgr reinstall or similar on a system without secure boot and ensure 
that shim is present in the boot entry created. Check old version to ensure it 
was broken before

[Where problems could occur]
shim in hirsute+ currently is unable to load fwupd, and it's not the first time 
this has happened. We need to get better at this, it's not clear how this 
happened, but maybe this is precisely where testing that bit went wrong?
