compiler_types.h: Attributes: Add __counted_by_ptr macro

Browse Source 
Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for
pointer struct members.

struct foo {
	int a, b, c;
	char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes);
	short nr_bars;
	struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars);
	size_t bytes;
};

Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very
recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct
from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro.

This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].
