installer/addon: Check A/B partitioning with ro.build.ab_update instead

* As osm0sis suggested (opengapps#879 (comment))
  some weird A only devices, seem to report slot as _a.

* So check with ro.build.ab_update instead (as its defined for every A/B device)

* $system_as_root in the installer.sh is unused elsewhere, so drop that too.
