Bug Description
[Impact]
There are instances of fwupd being unable to run updates on certain devices on Ubuntu 16.04. due to a "&" in metadata.
[Test Case]
* Try to perform an update on a 8bitdo affected device.
[Regression Potential]
* Regressions would occur in metadata processing where the fwupd daemon wouldn't be able to process it.
[Other Info]
This was discussed here:

This has been fixed in appstream-glib to prevent & in the metadata. This fix is already in 18.04 and just needs to be backported to 16.04.
