Added Appstream metadata XML with hardware mapping.

This allow linux distributions collecting such information to propose this package when the relevant hardware is present in a computer, as implemented with the isenkram system.

This is also reported as <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/840560 >.

This should be com.github.linux-thinkpad.hdapsd, right?

Will this make hdapsd automatically installed on all ThinkPads?
I don't think that Thinkpads shipped with rotating disks for the last 10 years, and the ones from the last 5 years probably don't even support rotating disks at all, so it seems wrong to suggest this tool for these?

It can be anything, as long as it is unique, in reverse DNS notation and matches the file name of the XML file. I do not know what it should be, I just picked a random ID based on the Homepage URL used in the Debian package when I initialy wrote the XML file. Your proposal is just as good as mine. Note, '-' should be avoided, and I tend to replace it with '_' if it is part of a DNS or project name fragment.

Will this make `hdapsd` automatically installed on *all* ThinkPads? I don't think that Thinkpads shipped with rotating disks for the last 10 years, and the ones from the last 5 years probably don't even support rotating disks at all, so it seems wrong to suggest this tool for these?

There is currently nothing automatically installing it, but yes, the modalias glob will match all Thinkpads. Perhaps you have a more fitting match expression? 'cat $(find /sys -name modalias)|sort -u' can provide some ideas.
