[3.11] GH-109408: Move the C file whitespace check from patchcheck to pre-commit (GH-109890) by AA-Turner · Pull Request #110640 · python/cpython

Both this PR and #110641 are failing due to valid lint failures -- (in Tools/c-analyzer/cpython/_capi.py and Modules/_ctypes/darwin/dlfcn.h). We could add exclusions for these files, or perhaps just not backport? Unsure how best to proceed.

Adding excludes (or fixing the failures) seems like a good idea to me. It's useful to keep CI stuff in sync for all the maintenance branches.

Having said that, if there's loads of stuff that needs changing, I wouldn't bother -- it's not the end of the world if it's not backported!
