[[gnu::nonstring]] should work on pointers too (#150974)

Browse Source 
Clang's current implementation only works on array types, but GCC (which
is where we got this attribute) supports it on pointers as well as
arrays.

Fixes #150951

(cherry picked from commit 837b2d464ff16fe0d892dcf2827747c97dd5465e)

The ``nonstring`` attribute can be applied to the declaration of a variable or
a field whose type is a character array to specify that the character array is
not intended to behave like a null-terminated string. This will silence
diagnostics with code like:
