[PATCH v4 7/8] crypto: keytoc: Allow fields to start with underscore

During the rewrite of keyspec handling for the new keyring syntax, a
restrictive character set was chosen for keys and values in the comma
separated list of key parameters:
[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*
Because __ENV expansion happens in a later step, excluding underscores
from allowed start characters broke the apparently unused feature of
passing only the (now obsolete) "fit-hint" via an environment variable
as documented in crypto/Kconfig:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_PUBLIC_KEYS="keyring=fit,fit-hint=__ENV__myhint:__ENV__myname"
Allow fields to start with an undescore just for now.
