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:

../drivers/net/wireguard/cookie.c:29:56: warning: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (9 chars into 8 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
   29 | static const u8 mac1_key_label[COOKIE_KEY_LABEL_LEN] = "mac1----";
      |                                                        ^~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/net/wireguard/cookie.c:30:58: warning: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (9 chars into 8 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
   30 | static const u8 cookie_key_label[COOKIE_KEY_LABEL_LEN] = "cookie--";
      |                                                          ^~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/net/wireguard/noise.c:28:38: warning: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (38 chars into 37 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
   28 | static const u8 handshake_name[37] = "Noise_IKpsk2_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2s";
      |                                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/net/wireguard/noise.c:29:39: warning: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (35 chars into 34 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]
   29 | static const u8 identifier_name[34] = "WireGuard v1 zx2c4 Jason@zx2c4.com";
      |                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The arrays are always used with their fixed size, so use __nonstring.
