Tudor Ambarus 8bf5a177c3 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.
