use case (discover firmware update)

We currently don't have an icon to represent the source for Firmware Updates in
Discover (this comes from the fwupd service https://fwupd.org/)

The common way to represent "firmware" is a usually a chip, and sometimes 1s
and 0s representing the code that goes within that chip.

I could find those icons in breeze that are close but don't feel too apt for
this:
- cpu/preferences-devices-cpu: Colourful but with too much detail (a chip on a
board, with a plasma logo on it) that gets completely unrecognizable for
smaller sizes
- show-gpu-effects: only symbolic, with very low detail and not semantically
correct as it is an action

The attached image shows the intended use case: it will be used at 16x16 before
"Firmware Updates" (on the empty space), and possibly also in larger size to
represent the entry "UEFI dbx", instead of the generic monitor and desktop to
help discern this specific update
