Bug Description

We'll need to upgrade foacl/libxmlb to version 0.3.6 because
of lp:1980334, which will bump the runtime from libxmlb1 to
libxmlb2.

Given so, we'll modify the control file to build-depend
on the new focal/libxmlb so we'll be sure that it will have
right dependency after focal/libxmlb is upgraded.

[Impact]

 * need to upgrade libxmlb so that EM120/160 firmware update
   cound be upgraded. (lp:1980334)

 * Since after upgrade, libxmlb1 will become libxmlb2. So we
   need to bump version in the control file to make sure it
   build against the new libxmlb.

[Test Plan]

 * install the upgraded fwupd/libxmlb and gnome-software and
   gnome-firmware. Find a machine that have pending firmware upgrade.
   1. check if the device list is the same before/after upgrade
   2. make sure those two app still could upgrade the firmware
      after upgrade.

 * other test on fwupd will be covered by their bugs.

[Where problems could occur]

 * Given libxmlb is only used to do fw upgrade, if it pass the test
   above, I can't see other think could happen.

[Other Info]

  * It will be better of the gnome-software / snap-store snap could
    be rebuilt after this is release (if they are build on focal)
