Problem

As reported at bsc#1258486, the web UI is not displaying the corresponding checkbox to configure TPM unlocking when the system supports it.

Inspecting the root of the problem, we found the backend was reporting the string "tpm_fde" to describe the corresponding encryption method, instead of the correct string "tpmFde".

The investigation also concluded we have a small mess regarding the ids for the different encryption methods.

Solution

This pull request fixes the main problem.

It also simplifies the current schema for the system API, removing values that are actually never reported by the backend.

Future

The topic needs some more love for the following Agama release.

On the one hand, we concluded that availableMethods should not be part of the system API. Since it only serves the UI, it should reside in the private API.

We also need to fix the formats of the encryption method ids to not mix camelCase and snake_case. But keeping backwards compatibility where needed.

The code added on this pull request will very likely change in the short term to adapt to those changes.

Testing

Tested manually.

We concluded that availableMethods should not be part of the system API
(since it only serves the UI) and that we need to fix the formats of the
encryption method ids. But before doing all that, this hotfix allows the
UI to properly offer TPM-based unlocking where it is available.
