libbpf: Fix determine_ptr_size() guessing
One strategy employed by libbpf to guess the pointer size is by finding the size of "unsigned long" type. This is achieved by looking for a type of with the expected name and checking its size. Unfortunately, the C syntax is friendlier to humans than to computers as there is some variety in how such a type can be named. Specifically, gcc and clang do not use the same names for integer types in debug info: - clang uses "unsigned long" - gcc uses "long unsigned int" Lookup all the names for such a type so that libbpf can hope to find the information it wants.
