[3.12] gh-106948: Add standard external names to nitpick_ignore (GH-106949) (#107060)

* [3.12] gh-106948: Add standard external names to nitpick_ignore (GH-106949)

It includes standard C types, macros and variables like "size_t",
"LONG_MAX" and "errno", and standard environment variables like "PATH".

(cherry picked from commit f8b7fe2)
