compiler_types: Introduce __flex_counter() and family

Introduce __flex_counter() which wraps __builtin_counted_by_ref(),
as newly introduced by GCC[1] and Clang[2]. Use of __flex_counter()
allows access to the counter member of a struct's flexible array member
when it has been annotated with __counted_by().

Introduce typeof_flex_counter(), overflows_flex_counter_type(), and
__set_flex_counter() to provide the needed _Generic() wrappers to get
sane results out of __flex_counter().

For example, with:

	struct foo {
		int counter;
		short array[] __counted_by(counter);
	} *p;

__flex_counter(p->array) will resolve to: &p->counter

typeof_flex_counter(p->array) will resolve to "int". (If p->array was not
annotated, it would resolve to "size_t".)

overflows_flex_counter_type(typeof(*p), array, COUNT) is the same as:

	COUNT <= type_max(p->counter) && COUNT >= type_min(p->counter)

(If p->array was not annotated it would return true since everything
fits in size_t.)

__set_flex_counter(p->array, COUNT) is the same as:

	p->counter = COUNT;

(It is a no-op if p->array is not annotated with __counted_by().)
