[compiler-rt][XRay] Make `xray_interface.h` C compliant (#140068)

The XRay interface header uses no C++ specific features aside from using
the `std` namespace and including the C++ variant of C headers. Yet,
these changes prevent using `xray_interface.h` in external tools relying
on C for different reasons. Make this header C compliant by using C
headers, removing the `std` namespace from `std::size_t` and guard
`extern "C"`.

To make sure that further changes to not break the interface
accidentally, port one test from C++ to C. This requires the C23
standard to officially support the attribute syntax used in this test
case.

Note that this only resolves this issue for `xray_interface.h`.
`xray_records.h` is also not C compliant, but requires more work to
port.

Fixes #139902

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
