hardening: simplify CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY
Simplifies CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY by removing the build test and relying solely on gcc/clang version numbering (GCC_VERSION >= 150100 and CLANG_VERSION >= 190103). The build test was used to allow unreleased gcc 15.0 builds to use the __counted_by attribute. Now that gcc 15.1.0 has been released, this is not needed anymore. Note: This will disable __counted_by on unreleased gcc 15.0 builds. clang version support for __counted_by remains unchanged.
