In 'struct hid_parser', the 'collection_stack' pointer field is used
to store a dynamically-allocated array of collection indices. The
size of this allocated array is tracked by 'collection_stack_size'.

Annotate 'collection_stack' with the '__counted_by_ptr' attribute
referencing 'collection_stack_size'. This allows compiler hardening
features (such as KASAN and UBSAN bounds-checking) to detect potential
out-of-bounds accesses to 'collection_stack'.
