[PATCHv2 2/9] libnvme: annotate nvme_path::numa_nodes with !accessors:none

The default accessor generation creates getters that return cached
attribute values. However, for nvme_path::numa_nodes, a real-time
(non-cached) value is required.

This is particularly useful for tools such as nvme-top, which rely on
up-to-date information for displaying a real-time dashboard.

Annotate nvme_path::numa_nodes with "!accessors:none" to disable the
auto-generated accessor, and provide a custom implementation of
nvme_path_get_numa_nodes() that returns the current value.
