ACPI: tables: Add __nonstring annotations for unterminated strings

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 4-byte
ACPI identifier arrays with __nonstring (and the new __nonstring_array)
to correctly identify the char arrays as "not C strings" and thereby
eliminate the many warnings like this:
