getconf: Report invalid variables as errors

Printing `undefined` to stdout means that the variable is valid but not
set. Instead, report an error in this case.

linux 4.13 appends the result of `getconf LFS_CFLAGS` to HOSTCFLAGS,
even if it prints `undefined`. This is arguably a bug in the Makefile,
but even so, getconf shouldn't report that unsupported variables are
valid.
