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 and correctly identify the char array as "not a C
string" and thereby eliminate the warning.
This effectively reverts the change in 4e7487245abc ("vboxsf: fix building
with GCC 15"), to add the annotation that has other uses (i.e. warning
if the string is ever used with C string APIs).
