disk/part.c: ensure strings in struct disk_partition are valid after successful get_info

Not all ->get_info implementations necessarily populate all the string
members of struct disk_partition.

Currently, only part_get_info_by_type() (and thereby part_get_info)
ensure that the uuid strings are initialized; part_get_info_by_type()
and part_get_info_by_uuid() do not. In fact, the latter could lead to
a false positive match - if the ->get_info backend does not populate
info->uuid, stale contents in info could cause the strncasecmp() to
succeed.

None of the functions currently ensure that the ->name and ->type
strings are initialized.

Instead of forcing all callers of any of these functions to
pre-initialize info, or all implementations of the ->get_info method
to ensure there are valid C strings in all four fields, create a small
helper function and factor all invocations of ->get_info through that.

This also consolidates the -ENOSYS check and standardizes on using
log_debug() for reporting absence, instead of the current mix of
PRINTF and log_debug(). It does mean we have to special-case -ENOSYS
in the error cases inside the loops in the _by_uuid() and _by_name()
functions, but it's still a net win in #LOC.
