[PATCH 1/5] compiler_types.h: Move __nocfi out of compiler-specific header

From: Kees Cook <kees at outflux.net>
Prepare for GCC KCFI support and move the __nocfi attribute from
compiler-clang.h to compiler_types.h. This was already effectively gated
by CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, so this remains safe for non-KCFI GCC builds.
