Compiler Attributes: disable __counted_by for clang < 19.1.3

commit f06e108 upstream.

This patch disables __counted_by for clang versions < 19.1.3 because
of the two issues listed below. It does this by introducing
CONFIG_CC_HAS_COUNTED_BY.

1. clang < 19.1.2 has a bug that can lead to __bdos returning 0:
llvm/llvm-project#110497

2. clang < 19.1.3 has a bug that can lead to __bdos being off by 4:
llvm/llvm-project#112636
