Fix: lttng: placing probe on symbol starting with `_`

Issue
=====
The lttng CLI tool does not parse `--probe` symbol name properly if the
name has an underscore at the beginning.
For example, the following command fails
  lttng enable-event -k --probe _do_fork my_do_fork_event

This happens because the `parse_probe_opts()` function looks if the
first character of the symbol field is an alphabetic character to
determine if a symbol was provided. The problem is that some kernel
symbols such as `_do_fork` start with an underscore.

Solution
========
check if the first character is an alphabetic character OR an
underscore.
