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 559048d
("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.)
