The script for checking that various lists of types in bpftool remain in
sync with the UAPI BPF header uses a regex to parse enum bpf_prog_type.
If this enum contains a set of values different from the list of program
types in bpftool, it complains.
This script should have reported the addition, some time ago, of the new
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL, which was not reported to bpftool's program types
list. It failed to do so, because it failed to parse that new type from
the enum. This is because the new value, in the BPF header, has an
explicative comment on the same line, and the regex does not support
that.
Let's update the script to support parsing enum values when they have
comments on the same line.
