fwupd in nixos-20.03 is failing to apply some capsules

[akotulski]

Describe the bug
Release in the stable branch is looping when applying capsule and failing.
It's a known issue that was fixed in the subsequent release (version 1.3.8)
fwupd/fwupd#1756
fwupd/fwupd#1764

To Reproduce
I ran following commands on my thinkpad t470s

1. fwdupdmgr update
2. restart computer and boot into firmware update
3. fwdupd got stuck and didn't apply the upgrade

Expected behavior
The fwdupd should finish

Additional context
I used fwupd from unstable and it succeeded (version 1.4)

nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: { fwupd = unstable.fwupd;}

I guess #80101 could be backported, #82001 probably too. Even #83755 should be okay changes-wise but maybe too much of a pain.
