gh-81057: Add a CI Check for New Unsupported C Global Variables #102506

This will keep us from adding new unsupported (i.e. non-const) C global variables, which would break interpreter isolation.

FYI, historically it is very uncommon for new global variables to get added. Furthermore, it is rare for new code to break the c-analyzer. So the check should almost always pass unnoticed.

Note that I've removed test_check_c_globals. A test wasn't a great fit conceptually and was super slow on debug builds. A CI check is a better fit.

(I'm going to sit on this PR for a few days in case there are any concerns with the new CI check. I'll also do a quick double-check with the core team but don't anticipate any real opposition.)

This also resolves gh-100237.

LGTM (but patchcheck has white-space complaints)

Yeah, it never likes the tabs in the TSV strings in Tools/c-analyzer/cpython/_parser.py.

A couple minor comments; I reviewed the check explanation and didn't find any non-trivial copyediting/proofreading issues.
