Update ctag language regexp

• Use only short form for kinds, the long form is deprecated
• Define new kinds with the --kinddef- flag
• Harmonize kind names and descriptions

This is an attempt to address #3764

Note:
The number of flags to ctags is huge. Maybe it would be worth writing all these options to an option file passed via --options=PATHNAME (as described here)
In this case the file can be part of the repository.

@vladak: thanks, maybe the option file stuff should be tackled in another PR anyway. Reading that issue I was wondering if there is still a requirement to support Exuberant ctags? It does not support multiple --options flags afaik and so one would have to merge the two files (which will be annoying to do 😄 )

Yeah, definitely a topic for another PR. As for Exuberant ctags, this is long dead so the references are purely historical I'd say. If we need some OpenGrok specific changes in Universal ctags, it should not be a problem raising PR there.
