Avoid key names which are valid attributes for data types in Python.

Browse source 
Closes #12990.

Alternative to #12992

This PR excludes all attributes of the following data types: lists,
tuples, dicts, sets, integers, floats, strings and Unicode objects.

It is expected that only the attributes of dicts and sets would cause an
problem like in #12990.

``foo-port``, ``foo port``, ``foo.port`` and ``12`` are not valid variable names. ``foo-port``, ``foo port``, ``foo.port`` and ``12`` are not valid variable names.
Easy enough, let's move on. When you work with more complex data types like dictionaries and sets note that you should avoid keys which are valid attributes for a data type in Python.
As a rule of thump, avoid all key names that start and end with two underscores for example ``__do_not_use__``.
Also avoid any of the following words:
``add``, ``append``, ``as_integer_ratio``, ``bit_length``, ``capitalize``, ``center``, ``clear``, ``conjugate``, ``copy``, ``count``, ``decode``, ``denominator``, ``difference``, ``difference_update``, ``discard``, ``encode``, ``endswith``, ``expandtabs``, ``extend``, ``find``, ``format``, ``fromhex``, ``fromkeys``, ``get``, ``has_key``, ``hex``, ``imag``, ``index``, ``insert``, ``intersection``, ``intersection_update``, ``isalnum``, ``isalpha``, ``isdecimal``, ``isdigit``, ``isdisjoint``, ``is_integer``, ``islower``, ``isnumeric``, ``isspace``, ``issubset``, ``issuperset``, ``istitle``, ``isupper``, ``items``, ``iteritems``, ``iterkeys``, ``itervalues``, ``join``, ``keys``, ``ljust``, ``lower``, ``lstrip``, ``numerator``, ``partition``, ``pop``, ``popitem``, ``real``, ``remove``, ``replace``, ``reverse``, ``rfind``, ``rindex``, ``rjust``, ``rpartition``, ``rsplit``, ``rstrip``, ``setdefault``, ``sort``, ``split``, ``splitlines``, ``startswith``, ``strip``, ``swapcase``, ``symmetric_difference``, ``symmetric_difference_update``, ``title``, ``translate``, ``union``, ``update``, ``upper``, ``values``, ``viewitems``, ``viewkeys``, ``viewvalues``, ``zfill``.
