security/vboot: Do not check for RW partitions if not part of the image

In the setup where measured boot is used with read-only partition only
there is no RW_A or RW_B partition in the flash. In this case it makes
no sense to let VBOOT check for these partitions just to fail and then
fall back to recovery mode.
Instead set the flag VB2_CONTEXT_RECOVERY_MODE right away so that VBOOT
starts in recovery mode any time.
This kind of bypasses VBOOT logic but is still suitable to have a
pure measured boot scheme enabled. In addition it avoids the first two
reboots due to missing RW_A and RW_B.
