Although U-Boot supports capsule update on-disk, it's lack of support for SetVariable at runtime prevents applications like fwupd from using it.
In order to perform the capsule update on-disk the spec says that the OS must copy the capsule to the \EFI\UpdateCapsule directory and set a bit in the OsIndications variable. The firmware then checks for the EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_FILE_CAPSULE_DELIVERY_SUPPORTED bit in OsIndications variable, which is set by submitter to trigger processing of the capsule on next reboot.
Let's add a config option which ignores the bit checking in OsIndications and just rely on the capsule being present (which breaks the EFI spec). Since U-Boot deletes the capsule while processing it, we won't end up running it multiple times.
Note that this is allowed for all capsules. In the future once, authenticated capsules is fully supported, we can limit the functionality to those only.
