Chris Down 248d6cf09d properties: Skip value building for nominal case
bus_message_print_all_properties() builds a PROP= string for every
property in the reply so that -p PROP=value filters can be matched
against it, but most queries never need this.

Take the normal `systemctl show` or `systemctl show UNIT` case. In that
case there is no filter. Even with `-p PROP` there is no value filter
since there is no value.

Avoid constructing the string entirely by comparing property names
directly against filter entries.

In my tests with a `systemctl show` over 160 units this brings the
instructions retired from 992.6M down to 960.5M, a reduction of 3.2%.

The same goes for property filters with units. When running:

    systemctl show -p UnitFileState -p ActiveState UNIT

...the instructions retired drops from 9.52M to 9.22M, a reduction of
3.2%. The output in each case is unchanged.
