Provide ability to block unwanted updates #294

Provide an option to prevent a particular firmware update version from being installed.

In my case, the suggested update is actually a downgrade according to the version number within the description. This may be an issue that needs to be logged elsewhere, but the issue for firmware-updater is that I have no way to "dismiss" the update as unwanted, and I keep getting desktop notifications for this update.

Users may also want to block questionable/known bad firmware, such as with the recent HP ProBook update that bricked many laptops.
