Warning with underscore _ breaks pragma parsing

[VladimirSlavik]

For a particular warning in disable pragma, pylint fails to parse the identifier string. The warning comes from a plugin (pocketlint) and is called found-_-in-module-class (note underscore). Instead of disabling, E0012 is emitted and the disable does not happen (obviously). Once the disable is changed to use the numeric identifier W9902, the issue goes away.

This regression appeared after updating pylint from 2.4.4. to 2.5.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. pip3 install --user pocketlint
2. pip3 install --user pylint==2.5.0
3. git clone git@github.com:rhinstaller/anaconda.git
4. cd anaconda
5. git checkout anaconda-33.13-1
6. PYTHONPATH=`pwd` python3 -m pylint --rcfile tests/pylint/pylintrc anaconda.py
7. Replace found-_-in-module-class in the indicated line with W9902
8. PYTHONPATH=`pwd` python3 -m pylint --rcfile tests/pylint/pylintrc anaconda.py

Current behavior

Buggy behavior:

E0012(bad-option-value):anaconda.py:379,0: : Bad option value 'found-'
E0012(bad-option-value):anaconda.py:379,0: : Bad option value '-in-module-class'
W9902(found-_-in-module-class):anaconda.py:381,57: : Found _ call at module/class level
W9902(found-_-in-module-class):anaconda.py:382,35: : Found _ call at module/class level

After replacing:
(no output)

Expected behavior

No output

pylint --version output

$ python3 -m pylint --version
pylint 2.5.0
astroid 2.4.1
Python 3.7.7 (default, Mar 13 2020, 21:39:43)

I have edited the report to pin the version of code for the "broken" one - obviously the line will be changed to the variant that does not trigger the bug (for now? forever?).

Another reproducer which does not depend on Anaconda project.

pylint-reproducer.py

# pylint: disable=raw_input-builtin
raw_input()

Then run

python3 -m pylint --enable=W1609 ./pylint-reproducer.py

You will see plenty of errors but also the E0012.

2.5.3 is going to permit this again once released.
