[PATCH bpf-next v6 4/6] selftests/bpf: Adjust veristat stack depth parsing

The verifier now reports instruction and stack depth statistics using
uniform "subprog <id> (<name>) <kind>" records. Subprogram 0 is
classified as main, while other records are global or static. Each record
carries insns_own, insns_total, and stack depth.

Teach veristat to parse the new records while retaining support for the
legacy one-line stack depth format used by older kernels. Skip both
instruction counts and match only through the stack value so fields can
still be appended without breaking parsing.

Increase the bounded backward scan so it can include all 256
per-subprogram records.

Zero-initialize the legacy stack buffer because logs using the new
format do not populate it before the trailing tokenizer loop. This makes
the loop see an empty string instead of reading uninitialized data.
