[PATCH v2 1/2] bpf, doc: Clarify Pseudo-C notation and w vs r register usage

[Vineet Gupta]

As a newcomer to BPF ecosystem I was confused with Pseudo-C being the
actual assembly. And while it's obvious now that w and r forms represent
32-bit and 64-bit regs respectively, it's better to call this out in
documentation explicitly and make it more newbie-proof.
