[Casper] Firmware Updates

[Miles Leacy]

My first thought was scoping to "available SWUs" under "receipts".
 Unfortunately, this criteria doesn't have a "like" option.  Perhaps this is
a feature request?  With this feature, we could scope the smart group to
"available SWUs like "firmware"".
It would be a little more involved, but you could scope the group to "does
not have" receipts for all available firmware updates.  Unfortunately, this
will require manual maintenance every time a new firmware update comes out.

Dummy receipts could work... grep the output of "softwareupdate -l" for
"firmware", "SMC", etc.
