Collection filters are not correctly resolved for multiple partitions

[eoyslebo]

I run image_export.py and log2timeline.py in an automated script and want to use --partition all so that I don't have to worry about identifying the correct partition.

When using a filter file, some of the paths are not expanded correctly unless I specify the main OS partition instead of using --partition all.

This applies to both image_export.py and log2timeline.py

In the example below, I ran image_export.py against an image with three partitions: UEFI, OS, and recovery.

image_export.py --partition all --vss_stores all -f "src/plaso/data/filter_windows.txt" "imagefile.E01"
