selftests/bpf: replace __regex macro with "{{...}}" patterns
Upcoming changes require a notation to specify regular expression
matches for regular verifier log messages, disassembly of BPF
instructions, disassembly of jited instructions.
Neither basic nor extended POSIX regular expressions w/o additional
escaping are good for this role because of wide use of special
characters in disassembly, for example:
movq -0x10(%rbp), %rax ;; () are special characters
cmpq $0x21, %rax ;; $ is a special character
*(u64 *)(r10 -16) = r1 ;; * and () are special characters
This commit borrows syntax from LLVM's FileCheck utility.
It replaces __regex macro with ability to embed regular expressions
in __msg patters using "{{" "}}" pairs for escaping.
Syntax for __msg patterns:
pattern := (<verbatim text> | regex)*
regex := "{{" <posix extended regular expression> "}}"
For example, pattern "foo{{[0-9]+}}" matches strings like
"foo0", "foo007", etc.
