[Bug]: variable evaluation doesn't respect conditionals; only results get occluded

What happened?

I have written a single conky.conf to use on 3 different machines, two of which do not have a GPU, using ${if_match "${nodename}"=="betlognuc"} to prevent the relevant machines from trying to parse commands they cannot execute.

However they do anyway. Resulting in a slew of error messages.

I understand that conky parses the entire config, but surely it can be a little smarter about it.

Version

conky 1.18.0 compiled 2023-02-20 for Linux x86_64

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Ubuntu
