Description

I would like to point out that identifiers like “__LIBRETRO_SDK_FILE_PATH_H” and “__RARCH_MISCELLANEOUS_Hdo eventually not fit to the expected naming convention of the C language standard.
Would you like to adjust your selection for unique names?

Research direction

Start with the include guards at line 23 of include/file/file_path.h and include/retro_miscellaneous.h, then check whether the same naming issue appears in nearby headers. Update the reserved identifiers to names that follow the C standard's naming rules and verify the affected headers still compile.
