bootctrl: fall back to active slot if current slot not found in cmdline

While postmarketOS makes use of a kernel cmdline argument, this isn't
the case for all distros. Furthermore, this argument isn't present in
those added automatically by the Android bootloader.

In order to still be able to use `qbootctl` on other distros, this
change ensures we use the currently active slot as the current slot when
the cmdline argument is missing. This ensure `qbootctl -m` picks up the
correct slot more often than not, instead of always defaulting to `_a`.
