bpo-40204, doc: Fix syntax of C variables (GH-21846)

For example, fix the following Sphinx 3 errors:

Doc/c-api/buffer.rst:102: WARNING: Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 5]
  void \*obj
  -----^

Doc/c-api/arg.rst:130: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'PyObject*'
Invalid C declaration: Expected end of definition. [error at 8]
  PyObject*
  --------^

The modified documentation is compatible with Sphinx 2 and Sphinx 3.
