compiler.h: Introduce __must_be_noncstr()
In preparation for adding more type checking to the memtostr/strtomem*() helpers, introduce the ability to check for the "nonstring" attribute. This is the reverse of what was added to strscpy*() in commit 559048d156ff ("string: Check for "nonstring" attribute on strscpy() arguments"). Note that __annotated() must be explicitly tested for, as GCC added __builtin_has_attribute() after it added the "nonstring" attribute. Do so here to avoid the !__annotated() test triggering build failures when __builtin_has_attribute() was missing but __nonstring was defined. (I've opted to squash this fix into this patch so we don't end up with a possible bisection target that would leave the kernel unbuildable.)
