selftests/bpf: Fix arg parsing in veristat, test_progs



Current code parses arguments with strtok_r() using a construct like

    char *state = NULL;
    while ((next = strtok_r(state ? NULL : input, ",", &state))) {
        ...
    }

where logic assumes the 'state' var can distinguish between first and
subsequent strtok_r() calls, and adjusts parameters accordingly. However,
'state' is strictly internal context for strtok_r() and no such assumptions
are supported in the man page. Moreover, the exact behaviour of 'state'
depends on the libc implementation, making the above code fragile.

Indeed, invoking "./test_progs -t <test_name>" on mips64el/musl will hang,
with the above code in an infinite loop.

Similarly, we see strange behaviour running 'veristat' on mips64el/musl:

    $ ./veristat -e file,prog,verdict,insns -C two-ok add-failure
    Can't specify more than 9 stats

Rewrite code using a counter to distinguish between strtok_r() calls.
