New stable release

[Richard Hughes]

Hi all,

I've just tagged 1.7.9 for all the distros like RHEL that don't have
new deps (or a new enough meson):

Version 1.7.9
=============
Released: 2022-07-25

This release fixes the following bugs:
* Do not generate a capsule header for the FMP GUID
* Do not use CoD even when advertized on non-aarch64 platforms
* Fix a critical warning when parsing an invalid PHAT record
* Fix a regression for devices using the Atmel FLIP Bootloader
* Fix parsing SMBIOS data
* Set the device ID on the FwupdRequest
* Use the correct protocol member when converting to JSON
* Wait for the system76-launch device to re-enumerate if unlocked and reset

This release adds support for the following hardware:
* More pixart-rf hardware
* System76 launch_2
* Two new Startech devices
