tools: Update context analysis macros in compiler_types.h

In sync with the main kernel headers, include a stub version of
compiler-context-analysis.h in tools/include/linux/compiler_types.h and
remove the sparse context tracking definitions.

Since tools/ headers are generally self-contained, provide a standalone
tools/include/linux/compiler-context-analysis.h with no-op stubs for now. Also
clean up redundant stubs in tools/testing/shared/linux/kernel.h that are now
redundant.

This fixes build errors in tools/testing/radix-tree/ where headers from
include/linux/ (like cleanup.h) are used directly and expect these
macros to be defined:

| cc -I../shared -I. -I../../include -I../../arch/x86/include -I../../../lib -g -Og -Wall -D_LGPL_SOURCE -fsanitize=address -fsanitize=undefined    -c -o radix-tree.o radix-tree.c
| In file included from ../shared/linux/cleanup.h:2,
|                  from ../shared/linux/../../../../include/linux/idr.h:18,
|                  from ../shared/linux/idr.h:5,
|                  from radix-tree.c:18:
| ../shared/linux/../../../../include/linux/idr.h: In function ‘class_idr_alloc_destructor’:
| ../shared/linux/../../../../include/linux/cleanup.h:283:9: error: expected declaration specifiers before ‘__no_context_analysis’
|   283 |         __no_context_analysis                                           \
|       |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
