net: macb: Add __nonstring annotations for unterminated strings

When a character array without a terminating NUL character has a static
initializer, GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization will only
warn if the array lacks the "nonstring" attribute[1]. Mark the arrays
with __nonstring to correctly identify the char array as "not a C string"
and thereby eliminate the warning:

In file included from ../drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c:42:
../drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb.h:1070:35: warning: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (33 chars into 32 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]

      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since these strings are copied with memcpy() they do not need to be
NUL terminated, and can use __nonstring:

                        memcpy(p, gem_statistics[i].stat_string,
                               ETH_GSTRING_LEN);
