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.
