[PATCH] scripts/jobserver-exec: parse the last --jobserver-auth= option

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Nov 14 2022 - 13:12:06 EST


In the GNU Make manual, the section "Sharing Job Slots with GNU make"
says:

Be aware that the MAKEFLAGS variable may contain multiple instances
of the --jobserver-auth= option. Only the last instance is relevant.

Take the last element of the array, not the first.
