docs: kernel-doc: python: strip __counted_by_ptr macro
The `__counted_by_ptr` macro was recently introduced [1] to extend bounds checking semantics to standard dynamically allocated pointers. However, the new Python implementation of kernel-doc does not currently recognize it as a compiler attribute. When kernel-doc encounters a struct member annotated with this macro, it fails to parse the variable name correctly, resulting in false-positive warnings like: Warning: ... struct member '__counted_by_ptr(cmdcnt' not described Add `__counted_by_ptr` to the `struct_xforms` regex list so it gets safely stripped out during the parsing phase, mirroring the existing behavior for `__counted_by`. Update the corresponding unit tests.
