discover settings page highlighting vendor directory checkbox

I thought it was weird two different distros, from different Linux "lineage"
(sorry, couldn't find a better word), to have the exact same error message.

After some more research, I found a bug report on Arch bug tracker where the
user ran `plasma-dsicover-update` from their terminal. 

I ran in mine and had the following output

```bash
$ plasma-discover-update
fetch ratings! false
adding empty sources model QStandardItemModel(0x55d272279b60)
QCommandLineParser: option not defined: "feedback"
Fwupd Error 10 no metadata URIs for vendor-directory
no component found for "org.opensuse.opensuse-tumbleweed"
ready 0
steady 0
No updates available, exiting
```

Which hinted the problem to be with `fwupd`.

I ended up disabling the "vendor directory" checkbox on Discover's settings
page, under the "Firmware Updates" section, and the message is gone. (see
attached image)

Of course this is not an optimal solution, but could give someone else a hint. 

I know  `fwupd` is about hardware firmware updates from LVFS. The "vendor
directory" checkbox is what is not yet clear to me, but I'll keep looking
around.

I'd appreciate if someone knows better about how `fwupd` works, and what this
"vendor directory" could be.
