It's a pitty this function is used nowhere, so let's polish it for use:
* Loop over branch names, makes it clear that every former conditional
was exactly identical.
* Support 'pipe' branch name, too.
* Make number parsing optional.

* Drop 'extern' keyword before function declarations.
* Add parameter names where they were missing for matters of
consistency.
* Drop fancy indenting (e.g. tab between type and name).
* Break long lines to not exceed 80 columns.

This work follows upon commit 6256f8c9e4 ("tc, bpf: finalize eBPF
support for cls and act front-end") and takes up the idea proposed by
Hannes Frederic Sowa to spawn a shell (or any other command) that holds
generated eBPF map file descriptors.
File descriptors, based on their id, are being fetched from the same
unix domain socket as demonstrated in the bpf_agent, the shell spawned
via execvpe(2) and the map fds passed over the environment, and thus
are made available to applications in the fashion of std{in,out,err}
for read/write access, for example in case of iproute2's examples/bpf/:
# env | grep BPF
BPF_NUM_MAPS=3
BPF_MAP1=6 <- BPF_MAP_ID_QUEUE (id 1)
BPF_MAP0=5 <- BPF_MAP_ID_PROTO (id 0)
BPF_MAP2=7 <- BPF_MAP_ID_DROPS (id 2)
# ls -la /proc/self/fd
[...]
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 0 -> /dev/pts/4
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 1 -> /dev/pts/4
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 2 -> /dev/pts/4
[...]
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 5 -> anon_inode:bpf-map
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 6 -> anon_inode:bpf-map
lrwx------. 1 root root 64 Apr 14 16:46 7 -> anon_inode:bpf-map
The advantage (as opposed to the direct/native usage) is that now the
shell is map fd owner and applications can terminate and easily reattach
to descriptors w/o any kernel changes. Moreover, multiple applications
can easily read/write eBPF maps simultaneously.
To further allow users for experimenting with that, next step is to add
a small helper that can get along with simple data types, so that also
shell scripts can make use of bpf syscall, f.e to read/write into maps.
Generally, this allows for prepopulating maps, or any runtime altering
which could influence eBPF program behaviour (f.e. different run-time
classifications, skb modifications, ...), dumping of statistics, etc.

Patch adds generic size table that is similiar to rate table, with
difference that size table stores link layer packet size.
