Add support for some non-alphanumeric variable names in the math expr evaluator

The math expression evaluator expects variable names to only be alpha-numeric. So if I have something like "[$DYNAMIC_PIPELINE + 2]", I get the error:

ALSA lib confeval.c:263:(snd_config_evaluate_string) wrong expression '$[$DYNAMIC_PIPELINE + 2]' ALSA lib conf.c:5632:(snd_config_expand_custom) Expand error (walk): Invalid argument Failed to expand pre-processor definitions in input config

Is it possible to add support for some non-alphanumeric characters in the variable names , esp '_'? I tried this change it seems to suffice:
