[PATCH] Fix invalid escape sequence warnings

[Vishal Chourasia]

The Python script `bpf_doc.py` uses regular expressions with
backslashes in string literals, which results in SyntaxWarnings
during its execution.

This patch addresses these warnings by converting relevant string
literals to raw strings, which interpret backslashes as literal
characters. This ensures that the regular expressions are parsed
correctly without causing any warnings.
