bpf: fix documentation for eBPF helpers

Another round of minor fixes for the documentation of the BPF helpers located in the UAPI bpf.h header file. Changes include: - Moving around description of some helpers, to keep the descriptions in the same order as helpers are declared (bpf_map_push_elem(), leftover from commit 90b1023f68c7 ("bpf: fix documentation for eBPF helpers"), bpf_rc_keydown(), and bpf_skb_ancestor_cgroup_id()). - Fixing typos ("contex" -> "context"). - Harmonising return types ("void* " -> "void *", "uint64_t" -> "u64"). - Addition of the "bpf_" prefix to bpf_get_storage(). - Light additions of RST markup on some keywords. - Empty line deletion between description and return value for bpf_tcp_sock(). - Edit for the description for bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce() (capital letters, acronym expansion, no effect if ECT not set, more details on return value).
