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.
