fw_update: Introduce FirmwareInventory
Spec reference: [1]
Description: FirmwareInventory is a class that manages all of the D-Bus utilities for the firmware update functionality of each entry, FirmwareInventoryManager is used to manage multiple FirmwareInventory instances.
Flow of the routine when one or more firmware device is added: 1. When one or more firmware device is added, the InventoryManager instance will try to create a FirmwareInventory entry for the added device, to accomplish this, it will need to fetch the necessary information from various source (e.g. EM, device descriptors).
2. After the information is gathered, the InventoryManager will try to obtain a Name for each firmware devices, to fit the different platform condition, the name will be reference by the order below: 1. From Entity Manager (EM), if the endpoint has a specific EM configuration with "Name" property listed. 2. From device descriptors, if the device descriptor contains a vendor defined descriptor with "OpenBMC.Name" titled. 3. Spawn a default one, named "Firmware_Device_<Endpoint ID>".
3. The InventoryManager will then invoke `FirmwareInventoryManager::createFirmwareInventory` to create a firmware inventory entry.
Properties managed by firmware Inventory: 1. Version Version object that represents the firmware version 2. Association Association object that represents the associations for the firmware
The object path pattern of the firmware inventory entry is: `/xyz/openbmc_project/software/<BoardName>_<SoftwareName>_<SoftwareID>`
Where: - `<BoardName>` represents the board the device is on. - `<SoftwareName>` is the name of the firmware device obtained from the InventoryManager. - `<SoftwareID>` is a 4-byte random number to help consumer distinguish from the new/old objects of a inventory item. For example: `server_board_slot_1_VR_2603` The new Activation object and its related interfaces needs to resides on a new objectPath, hence the softwareId is appended to the path.
Test results: - Build passed - Successfully create firmware inventory entries on Yosemite V4
