[PATCH 4/6] fastboot: only populate variables explicitly asked for

To allow flashing an image with a partition table followed by an image
for a specific partition, the fastboot implementation was changed to
evaluate partitions on demand.

As there are partition-specific variables and the magic "all" variable,
which lists all variables, all partitions are evaluated in getvar
unconditionally, when only a variable for a specific partition is needed.

When one partition doesn't exist and is not marked as optional, this
leads to an error, even if something innocuous as the general
max-download-size is requested.

Change this, so only partitions that were explicitly asked for have their
variables populated on demand, unless "all" variables were requested.
