Description:
gnome-control-center recently got a new panel for showing system firmware and security related information, but this requires gnome-firmware package to be installed. gnome-firmware depends on fwupd which provides the necessary content to make the panel work. Therefore gnome-firmware should probably be an optional, if not required (as currently the panel still shows even without gnome-firmware installed) dependency for gnome-control-center.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 43.2-1
* config and/or log files etc. none
* link to upstream bug report, if any none

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gnome-control-center without gnome-firmware or fwupd installed.
2. Go into the 'Privacy' panel.
3. Go to the 'Security' panel. It won't show any information and when clicking on another panel, it disappears completely.
This task depends upon

I tried to open it from the issues regarding gnome-control-center in the hope it would automatically be attached to that package, but it seems like it didn't do that. I also can't change it anymore. Sorry for that.
