Description
New Issue Checklist
- I've Updated SwiftLint to the latest version.
- I've searched for existing GitHub issues.
Feature or Enhancement Proposal
number_separator should be able to be configured to ignore/exclude certain types / typealiases of numbers like:
number_separator:
ignore: [pid_t]
So any literal used for a pid_t is ignored by this rule.

Research direction
Start by locating the number_separator rule, its configuration, and its existing tests. Trace how numeric literals are checked and how the requested ignore list could identify types such as pid_t. Done means the YAML option works and tests demonstrate that ignored numeric types are exempt while other literals remain checked.
